Testimonials

" I really enjoyed this workbook. Learning from people that these things really happened to, not just made up stories or statistics that I hear all the time. The questions were all real. I didn't feel like I was trying to be forced to answer them like you would want me to."

Court Responsibility

The court responsibility program is designed to help courts with their noncompliant offenders. A major portion of many court dockets is taken up dealing with noncompliant offenders and their many excuses. The most effective way to deal with this problem is by helping offenders overcome their self-defeating thoughts and behaviors. They have a tendency to blow up their situation worse than it really is. There are always viable options to what seems difficult. However, because they are not cognizant of these solutions they just keep on doing what they have been doing and getting what they have been getting. Cognitive restructuring was designed to interrupt this loop of negative repetitive thinking.
