A three-part intervention method for working with antisocial or behavior disordered adolescents. The approach includes training in moral judgment, anger management/correction of thinking errors, and prosocial skills. Youth involved in the EQUIP training program participate in two types of group sessions - Equipment Meetings (in which the leader teaches specific skills) and Mutual Help Meetings (in which the leader coaches students as they use the skills they've learned to help each other). The EQUIP program received the 1998 Reclaiming Children and Youth Spotlight on Excellence Award. In addition to being widely used in the U.S., EQUIP has been adapted for use in Canada, the Netherlands, and several other countries.

This user-friendly guide is designed to enhance implementation of an EQUIP training program. A copy of the EQUIP book (described above) is required to conduct the program. The implementation guide was produced in response to the needs of busy practitioners and provides a collection of reproducible program forms, student handouts/ worksheets, and guidelines for group leaders and administrators. It presents step-by-step guidelines for conducting Mutual-Help and Equipment Meetings and for training and motivating staff and group members. It is also useful in developing a comprehensive program statement and in establishing successful operating procedures.

EQUIPPED for Life has been completely redesigned and updated. It can be used independently or to enhance EQUIP training. Playing the game helps youth learn to think and act responsibly. As players move their tokens around the game board, they are asked to identify thinking errors and replace them with accurate thoughts and constructive action plans. In this way players not only see the negative effects of these thinking errors but also practice creating action plans that will result in self-management and consideration for other individuals and the community as a whole. Topic areas include: daily living, education, relationships, school, community, substance abuse, employment, and after school activities. Includes over 100 situation cards for each of two levels, grades 5-8 and 9-young adult. For 2-6 players. Can also be played with teams.

This widely used questionnaire can be used independently or to enhance the EQUIP training program. It measures four categories of self-serving cognitive distortions (thinking errors) - Self-Centered, Blaming Others, Minimizing/Mislabeling, and Assuming the Worst. The questionnaire is a 54-item measure that can be administered in groups or with individuals. It is typically completed in 5 to 15 minutes and requires only a fourth-grade reading level. The questionnaire, which includes scoring and computation instructions and forms, is useful in assessment, treatment planning, tracking therapeutic progress, and individual- or program-level outcome evaluation. The How I Think (HIT) Questionnaire is sold in packets of 20 and is accompanied by a 44-page manual.
