So often justice involved individuals struggle with negative thought patterns and beliefs, but sometimes these maladaptive patterns become so ingrained that they interfere with behavior, relationships, and well-being. Our Facilitators empower participants to examine and restructure their ineffective beliefs and patterns of thinking to improve self-image and identity by delivering evidence-based, individually tailored programming to address the dynamic root causes that often lead to criminal behavior and to promote change and reduce their risk for re-offense.
