The Carey Guides and BITS can be incorporated in case plans as action steps that help a person work toward their goal. The Guides and BITS that are chosen should address the criminogenic needs that are the focus of the case plan. I've attached a few resources that can help you choose which resource to use when: the BITS Tools Usage Guide, the Carey Guides Index, and the Carey Guides Linking Chart.


Agencies that have automated case plans often take it a step further, identifying withipossible goals related to the various criminogenic needs, as well as resources, including the Guides and BITS, to help meet those goals.
