OK, OK, I GET IT! I UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE TO TARGET CRIMINOGENIC NEEDS. BUT HOW DO I DO THIS WHEN I ONLY HAVE 15 MINUTES WITH A CLIENT. HOW CAN I CHANGE THEIR BEHAVIOR DURING THAT TIME? HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THIS WHEN I DON T HAVE RESOURCES TO SEND THEM TO? HOW REALISTIC IS THIS? THEY AREN T MOTIVATED. WHY USE CAREY GUIDES?

Challenges to get started We are often dealing with.. Limited resources. Limited time to engage client. Client won t engage with me during meetings. Lack of Motivation. Not knowing where to start? Feeling comfortable with the tool.

Reinforcement if you want to keep a behavior going reward it.

Carey Guides-Where to begin? Blue to Red, or Red to Blue, although, there is no order or sequence when chooses what guide to use, it is recommended that you begin with Your Guide to Success. Addressing criminogenic needs should be of highest priority in the case management process, but it may be necessary to first address issues that would otherwise serve as barriers to success (e.g., mental health, reentry). For those clients who are exhibiting high levels of resistance, you might choose to use the Maximizing Strengths Guide and/or Motivating Offenders to Change (both Red Guides) Rewards and Sanctions identify rewards and linking behaviors with rewards

Consider This Perspective If the target is to reduce recidivism by 25%, what does that mean? Caseload: 50 Current recidivism: 32% Current number on caseload who will reoffend: 16 If you reduce recidivism by 25% (one quarter of the 16), your caseload recidivism rate would drop to 24% That means only 12 persons on the caseload will recidivate (4 fewer than normal) It does not mean 100% will succeed, but. If 20 of us in this room had caseloads of 50 and we all achieved a 25% reduction in recidivism, there would be at least 80 fewer victims
