Who We Are

The BETA Team is a group of trained professionals from different departments across campus who discuss and evaluate behaviors of concern that could precede a violent event. This could be violence to self, others, campus, or the UNC Asheville community. This team addresses behaviors of concern and provides resources to help keep the UNC Asheville campus a safe working and learning environment.
