8 Keys to Success Skill Poster

The 8 Keys to Success Skill Poster was designed in response to requests by corrections professionals for an easy to use tool that lists the most common skill deficits associated with each of the top 8 criminogenic need areas. This attractive poster can be displayed on the corrections professionals’ office wall, in program rooms, and/or in common waiting areas and staff rooms. Its purpose is to list, in strength-based terms, the key behaviors that lead to successful living (such as “Live a Sober Lifestyle” and “Maintain Healthy and Supportive Family Relationships”); to identify some of the skills that are essential to success in each area; and to identify practical tools and strategies that corrections professionals can use to assist youthful and adult offenders to develop strength in these criminogenic need areas.

The poster is intended to be used as an interactive tool between the corrections professional and the adult and youthful offenders with whom they work, to aid in the recognition and identification of specific skill deficits that can lead to illegal behavior, and to support the development of strategies to address these skill deficits.

Included with each purchase is the following:

1. Each poster measures 22 inches by 30 inches and is laminated for durability.
2. Each poster also includes a one-page, laminated document for use by the corrections professional. This document translates each “Key to Success” on the 8 Keys to Success Skill Poster, using strength-based terminology, into one of the eight criminogenic needs, and directs the professional to the Carey Group Publishing tools (i.e., Blue Carey Guides, Red Carey Guides, and Brief Intervention ToolS (BITS)) that were developed to assist offenders to develop new, prosocial skills in each area.
