What’s inside
Feedback helps most for the clients who are quietly getting worse. This kit gives you a small, legal battery, a session loop, and the words to make measures collaborative.
- Two evidence pages: what routine feedback changes, in numbers, and the numbers behind the measures, each figure quoted from its source
- A one-page session-loop flowchart, with the self-harm branch first
- Choosing a small battery, with a licensing table that points to the official, current version of each measure
- A PHQ-9 and GAD-7 tracker, and a PCL-5 tracker with reliable-change and benchmark values
- A structured not-on-track review: eight places to look when the line isn’t moving
- Scripts for using measures, two client handouts (why check-ins, my progress chart), and documentation language
- Pitfalls and fixes, a 30-day implementation plan, and references

How clinicians use it
Work it across assessment and the first weeks of treatment, alongside your usual intake and documentation.
Built for
- Outpatient therapists starting measurement-based care
- Practices that need to show progress to supervisors or payers
- Clients whose progress has stalled or quietly slipped
- Supervised associates building a consistent tracking habit
A simple flow
- Know why it works: two evidence pages.
- Run the loop: measure at the start of each session and look at the trend together.
- Choose a small battery: one core measure plus one or two targeted ones.
- Track and judge change with reliable-change values.
- Review what is off track, then talk and document.
Scope
This is clinical decision support, not a test, and it does not produce a diagnosis. No item text from any questionnaire is reproduced; the kit tracks total scores and points to each measure’s official source. It is not a replacement for suicide risk assessment when a measure flags risk, or for your payer, agency, or EHR requirements. Screening cut-points are reference points from specific samples, not diagnostic rules.
