Description
What's Included:
- One tear-off tablet for each of six BITS; 25 sheets per tablet
The Brief Intervention ToolS (BITS) were designed for justice system and behavioral health professionals helping clients build key skills. There are six BITS:
- Decision Making
- Overcoming Automatic Responses
- Problem Solving
- Thinking Traps
- Overcoming Thinking Traps
- Who I Spend Time With
Each tool is:
-
Short—only one page (front and back)—making it ideal for brief, structured interventions
-
User-friendly, straightforward, with only a few steps, ensuring the lesson is digestible and easy to remember
-
Situational—perfect for when a spontaneous "teachable moment" arises but also beneficial when targeting problematic behavior patterns
-
Versatile—focusing on a key skill that can be used in a variety of situations
The BITS can be used as a supplement to the Carey Guides; they are also useful to practitioners who do not yet have the training or comfort level to follow the longer-term case management strategies that the Guides support.
