The Chesapeake College Behavioral Intervention Team (BIT), in partnership with For All Seasons, earned recognition from Maryland BIT Affinity for Best/Promising Practice in the Field. Public Safety Supervisor Jim Miller received an individual Excellence in the Field commendation for his BIT work on campus.

The BIT implements timely threat assessments and early interventions to assure campus safety. Through an innovative community partnership, mental health services from For All Seasons are available to any Chesapeake College student either on the Wye Mills Campus or via telehealth.

“I am incredibly grateful for the work of Officer Miller, For All Seasons, and the entire Chesapeake College Behavioral Intervention Team. This team of individuals is extremely dedicated to the safety and well-being of the students we serve here at the college,” said Vice President for Enrollment and Student Success Kamari Collins.

The Chesapeake BIT members are Lynette Blake, Dana Bowser, Daniel Miller, Jim Miller, Dr. Miriam Osborne-Elliott, Anne Reinecke, Cheyenne Roache, Allie Silver and Rhonda Thomas.

“We continue to look for new ways to impact the mental health of our community. Serving the students at Chesapeake College with this program helps to chip away at some of the barriers to mental health services in our region. These students are often juggling many roles, including jobs, their families, and their schoolwork and assistance in handling these stressors. It’s an honor to be recognized for our role in helping the College deal with some of these challenges,” stated Beth Anne Dorman, President and CEO of For All Seasons.
