Residential Services

Clinical / CBT Programs

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Program Facilitators employed with Allen County Community Corrections play a guiding role in the successful rehabilitation and cognitive transformation of the justice involved individuals that we serve.

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.
