Before we developed the BITS and Carey Guides, some staff were using a cognitive behavioral approach in their one-on-one appointments to help people solve problems in more productive ways, make better decisions, and choose more prosocial companions, among many reasons. However, other staff had challenges teaching new skills and promoting positive behavior change. We knew that staff were busy, so we created the BITS and Guides to give them concise, practical, and easy-to-use tools to teach concrete strategies that would contribute to risk reduction. However, these are only some tools for one’s toolbox. We want to encourage staff to continue to use any and all cognitive behavioral approaches that have been shown to be effective—through research and experience—in helping build skills and promoting positive behavior change.
