This guide is ideal for clinicians working with clients on probation, parole, or involved in mandated treatment settings. It’s especially useful for therapists, case managers, social workers, and substance use counselors who need to respond in-the-moment to behavior that might otherwise escalate or lead to sanction. It supports strengths-based, client-centered work and can be used as a reference during supervision or case consultation to reflect on best practices.
