More about Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) approach

At GSBC we use Feedback Informed Treatment (FIT) , an outcomes-based approach to deliver services to our clients. GSBC clinical counsellors are required to use FIT to deliver counselling services related to gambling harms. Successful applicants will receive training and support for the application of FIT and will have the opportunity to participate in monthly meetings where you will receive further learning opportunities with Dr. Scott Miller, founder of the International Center for Clinical Excellence (ICCE).  

FIT emphasizes using client feedback to tailor and improve therapeutic interventions in real-time, enhancing treatment effectiveness and client engagement in the therapeutic process. This evidence-based systematic monitoring of client progress and therapeutic alliance ensures optimal treatment outcomes. Improvement is tracked through regular administration of standardized measures, allowing therapists to adjust their strategies based on the client's ongoing responses.
