Praise for Brief Intervention ToolS (BITS):
"The BITS have helped improve court counselors' knowledge of cultivating change by changing the tone from directive to engaging the youth in identifying areas of change on their own and with staff. Carey Group has decreased stress in the organization and as the BITS continue to be utilized, they will help reduce recidivism among our youth populations."
