It will serve as a centralized reporting and referral mechanism to better identify, assess, manage, and support OU community members whose behavior causes concern.<\/p>\n<p>PACT will also seek to improve coordination and communication regarding behavioral issues across campus while utilizing proactive approaches and early intervention strategies with at-risk students to prevent escalation of concerns and fill gaps in support services. PACT will be providing training, resources and support to the OU community to better identify and address concerns.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we tell parents of prospective students that their student will be supported in all the ways they need in our complex society today, that includes mental health,\u201d said <strong>President Nick Ladany<\/strong>. \u201cPACT is another very effective tool to help us keep that promise and support not only students, but faculty and staff and members of our community who may require assistance.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Learn more at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.oglethorpe.edu\/pact\">oglethorpe.edu\/pact<\/a>. Please note that behavioral assessment should not be confused with emergency and crisis management. An emergency or \u201ccrisis\u201d may be defined as a situation in which a person may need immediate assistance to ensure their health and safety and\/or pose an active or immediate risk of violence to self or others.
