Our new and expanded course with hands-on practice sessions added for a more robust program.  The goal of this course is two-fold.  To enhance the efficacy of judicial workers in;

  • Preventing recidivism and relapse, and

  • Promoting prosocial and responsible behavior in their clients. 

A cognitive-behavioral approach is the primary foundational model for facilitating change.  This program is designed to support the work of correctional change and reform of populations under various forms of supervision.  The course will take individual looks at Behavioral and Cognitive components as well as review the merger of the two.  

Participants will be in a position to integrate concepts and skills of CBT into a model that provides a map for guiding their clients through the process of cognitive and behavioral change with a goal of preventing relapse and recidivism.  They will learn key components of CBT and identify/describe core cognitive structures that are the focus of CBT. 

They will also be in a position to identify/describe core processes of CBT, vehicles and dynamics through which cognitive structures are expressed that define the action focus of CBT, understand pathways to relapse, the process of recidivism and how to prevent them and be in a position to help clients develop a relapse prevention plan.
