The Carey Guides and BITS were written to reach the largest number of people possible: adults and youth, and people in the community or in facilities—regardless of gender. However, there are some people who fall outside this population, namely

  • youth under the age of 15
  • people who have developmental impairments 
  • people with a serious, persistent mental illness

 

We expect that the tools will be useful for those with a mental health condition that is under control with medication and/or therapy. Otherwise, we would recommend a different approach with the above profiles.
