eMailCourse Description: This 16-hour program utilizes a researched and evidence-based curriculum to improve behavior through cognitive restructuring and social skills development. Facilitators place emphasis on empowering students to identify wrong thinking that so often leads to negative or criminal behavior and replace it with right thinking that results in positive behavior and outcomes. This program is centered on instruction and exercises in interpersonal problem solving. It will assist students to set goals and create positive attitudes and beliefs as well as to develop personal accountability and responsibility, control anger, provide substance abuse education and impulse control. It is appropriate as a "sanctions" course for those who violate their probation or parole but do not fit or may require something more intense than the standard programs for anger, theft, and money management, or it can be used as an "up-front" program to facilitate positive life changes from the beginning. It is also beneficial for those involved with the family and protective services system, the health and human services system, or anyone else needing or wanting to bring about fundamental change in their lives through an examination of their values, attitudes, beliefs and thinking patterns.
