The National Association for Behavioral Intervention and Threat Assessment

What The National Association for Behavioral Intervention and Threat Assessment does

The National Association for Behavioral Intervention and Threat Assessment (NABITA) is a Pennsylvania-incorporated, independent not-for-profit professional membership association that builds the standards, assessment instruments, and training infrastructure used by behavioral intervention teams (BITs) and behavioral threat assessment and management (BTAM) teams in U.S. educational institutions and workplaces. Its core intellectual property consists of four proprietary risk-assessment tools — Risk Rubric, STRAND (Screening Tool for Risk Assessment of Narrative Data), SIVRA (Structured Interview for Violence Risk Assessment, with general and K-12 versions), and NAS (Non-Clinical Assessment of Suicide) — together with published industry standards for BITs (2018, updated 2023), K-12 BTAMs (2024), and Case Management. These tools are delivered through virtual and in-person certification courses (e.g., STRAND training at $704-$875 per seat), continuing certification credit programs, and structured interview training, with content reinforced via the BITKit and K-12 BTAMKit resource kits and video learning modules (20-Minutes-to-Trained, BIT Orientation Video Series, Window into BIT).

NABITA generates revenue across five streams: tiered annual membership dues (Individual $229, Team $1,269, Super $5,775, and a K-12 Professional Development Package), certification and re-certification course fees (with member/non-member and group-discount tiers), on-demand digital product sales (recorded webinars and video series at $377-$599), events including the Annual Conference (Baltimore, October 2026), the Case Management Summit, and Virtual Focus Weeks, and adjunct consulting services — BIT Operations, Case Management, Policy and Program Review, Custom Training, and Threat Assessment and Safety — that are operationally delivered by parent-firm TNG Consulting. Distribution runs primarily direct-via-membership enrollment through the Membersuite portal, in-person training, virtual/Zoom training, and an e-commerce storefront, with marketing concentrated in a content-rich website, weekly newsletter, active member listserv, Talking BITs webinars, and digital-badge social sharing.

The organization is governed by an Advisory Board of 20+ field leaders and a faculty of approximately 25 subject-matter experts, and is led day-to-day by President Makenzie Schiemann, Ph.D., and Executive Director Jen Taylor, M.S. NABITA is a sibling association of ATIXA (Association of Title IX Administrators) under shared parent and operational manager TNG (The NCHERM Group, LLC).

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Sandy Hook Promise: National prevention and school safety nonprofit delivering K-12 threat assessment and 'Know the Signs' programs. Comparable because it targets the same K-12 buyer for behavioral threat assessment and safety training, though via prevention programs rather than BIT frameworks.
• JED Foundation: Nonprofit focused on mental health and suicide prevention for colleges and high schools. Comparable because it serves overlapping institutional buyers with prevention/risk programming and publishes widely adopted campus mental health frameworks.
• Safe and Sound Schools: Nonprofit providing school safety and crisis-prevention resources to K-12 schools. Comparable because it competes for the same K-12 safety/training budget and offers practitioner training programs intersecting with NABITA's BTAM vertical.

Direct peers

• ATIXA (Association of Title IX Administrators): Sister organization under the same parent TNG, serving higher education compliance professionals in Title IX and civil rights. Comparable because it shares parent governance, infrastructure, conference programming, and the same institutional buyer personas.
• ATOP (Association for Threat Assessment Professionals): A national professional association focused on threat assessment practitioners across sectors. Directly comparable because it serves an overlapping practitioner base working in behavioral threat assessment, risk evaluation, and case consultation.
• ASCA (Association for Student Conduct Administrators): Professional association for student conduct administrators, who are frequent members of campus BIT/CARE teams. Comparable because NABITA's Case Management training directly overlaps with student conduct work and ASCA competes for the same institutional membership dollars.

Broad incumbents

• NASPA (Student Affairs Administrators in Higher Education): The largest higher education student affairs association, with broad membership across campus administrators. Comparable because many BIT/CARE team members are housed within student affairs, and NASPA competes for the same institutional budget lines.
• NASP (National Association of School Psychologists): National professional association for school psychologists, a key constituency of K-12 BIT/CARE teams. Comparable because NASP members are direct users of NABITA's K-12 BTAM resources and could substitute or overlap with NABITA's K-12 offerings.
• ACPA (College Student Educators International): Longstanding professional association for student affairs professionals in higher education. Comparable because ACPA members often serve on BIT/CARE teams, creating overlapping audience and institutional budget competition.

Others

• Vector Solutions: SaaS provider of online compliance and safety training for education and workforce. Comparable as an adjacent technology and training provider serving the same K-12 and higher ed institutional buyers with safety and compliance training content.
