Rock County

Jefferson, Walworth, and Rock Counties participated in training to develop skills related to the use of evidence-based tools that can be integrated into case management work.  The Carey Guides and Brief Intervention Tools (BITS) focus on enhancing a worker’s ability to understand the personal and environmental factors underlying a youth’s delinquent behavior and provide workers with specific tools to teach youth skills for making positive decisions.  Carey Guides are effective interventions for risk reduction and serve to improve fairness and equity.  The accessibility of the tools allows the worker to provide a more immediate response to behaviors while assisting youth.
