Behavioural Barometer Tool

What is this tool?

This behavioural barometer tool can be used independently by a participant or in conjunction with a therapist or support person. It is best used when it is led by the participant to their best of their ability to address behaviours that they feel are not serving them anymore or that are creating harm in their lives. 

Some Examples of when I have used this tool

I have used this as a tool when I am working with a participant who had some sexual behaviours that were causing him to lose staff and he was facing an eviction.

I have used this tool with a participant who was struggling with a pattern of withdrawing from their support system.

I have utilised this tool when working with a participant with dual diagnoses (substance misuse and mental health) challenges. 

Collaboration

I like to use this tool in collaboration with the safety planning tool.
