Thinking for a Change
We partner with the SLO County Probation Department to facilitate Thinking for a Change, a 25-session cognitive behavioral change program for adults on Probation. This program meets once a week for 25 weeks. The curriculum is divided into three sections: Social Skills, Cognitive Self-Change, and Problem Solving. Each section focuses on a different set of skills for participants to discuss and practice. During Social Skills, participants work on skills like Active Listening, Responding to Anger, Giving Feedback, and Knowing Your Feelings. During Cognitive Self-Change, participants discuss how thoughts, feelings, and beliefs are connected to actions. Finally, during Problem Solving, participants bring everything together to address problems they are facing. Graduates leave the program with a better understanding of themselves and how their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, and actions are connected.
