The Behavioral Risk Assessment and Consultation Team (BRACT) assists the UMBC community in addressing situations where a person is displaying concerning, disruptive, disturbing or threatening behaviors.

BRACT is an interdisciplinary team that examines reports of concerning behavior to help identify persons whose behaviors may endanger their own or other’s health and safety. Behaviors that may be of concern may include, but are not limited to: highly anxious, very sad, irritable, thinking/talking/writing about suicide, hostility, aggression, violence, inability to communicate clearly, loss of contact with reality, stalking, threatening letters or e-mails, harassment and threats of harm to self or others.

BRACT is designed to provide information, recommendations and referrals to those dealing with threatening or disruptive situations. If you are experiencing someone who is disruptive or dangerous you should immediately call University Police at 410-455-5555.

To report behaviors of concerns, e-mail bract@umbc.edu.
