Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT)

Why use Feedback Informed Treatment

A platform to help you with important treatment decisions

Practitioners of various disciplines and orientations working within human services have similar experiences when delivering therapeutic interventions to their clients. While the interventions delivered are generally effective, keeping people engaged in the treatment process is often difficult, especially those who need it most. Early termination from treatment, poor outcomes and client deterioration make up a large percentage of practitioners caseload.

Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) is an approach used by counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers. It is a transtheoretical, evidence-based approach for improving the process and outcomes of treatment by keeping clients engaged in the treatment process and by identifying those at risk of not benefiting from services

Benefit of using Feedback Informed Treatment

Feedback as much as doubles the “effect size” (reliable, clinically significant change).

Cuts dropout rates by as much as 50%.

Reduces deterioration by 33%.

A platform for a given client to be an active agent of decision making in the treatment process.

Provision for conducting ongoing practice-based research, localised to the given context, while allowing a comparison with international norms.

I have worked across several areas over the last 12 years, such as youth, homelessness, counselling and addiction. I have held positions such as practitioner, supervisor and team lead.

I am absolutely passionate about involving our clients and those who utilise behavioural healthcare services in their treatment.
