Monthly Posting on Upcoming NIC Sponsored Thinking for A Change Facilitator Programs

Leslie / NIC — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:12:24 GMT

Hello All!

Beginning November 3, 2009, I will post monthly (on or around the first of each month) to this forum any upcoming Thinking for A Change facilitator training opportunities that we know of through our Academy Division Technical Assistance work at NIC. I will post information on only those T4C opportunities to which the requesting agency is open to having participants from other agencies included in the training.

In the posts will be the basic information you will need to know - the scheduled dates, proposed location (city or town), the requesting agency contact name and their telephone number.

At that point, we invite you to contact them directly for information specific to the event.

Best Regards,

Leslie LeMaster

In need of Facilitator Training!

Does anyone know of upcoming facilitator training for T4C? Preferably closer to the West Coast (Oregon), but will consider ANYWHERE! Fairly urgent to get the training, as we're losing one of our facilitators that was supposed to start a program in January. Feel free to contact me Brenda.Carney@co.columbia.or.us Thanks so much!

We are using the Criminal Thinking Scale developed by Texas Christian University as a measure for referral as well as a post measure of change. The scale can be downloaded without charge from TCU's Texas Institute of Behavioral Science at http://www.ibr.tcu.edu/ .

I am involved in the development and implementation of a similar program with the Ministry of Justice in London, England. I am looking for a good contact in the Tampa area of Florida with regards to training for trainers and program quality assurance. I am visiting in October and would be interested in sharing ideas etc. Jason Brooke

CBP Thinking for a Change and THINK

Are offenders able to officially complete the TFC program after completing session 22. In Georgia we require the offender to attend 32 sessions(10 addition sessions on social skills). Requiring the offenders to complete 32 sessions in order to graduate is difficult to do in out short term facilities. Also, are there any other states other than Wisconsin doing "THINK"?

I have developed a set of seven worksheets based on thinking reports called Thinking Matters. You can access a copy for free at: www.thinkingmatters.us I have been working with cognitive behavioral programs for about 15 years. Through this time I have noticed that many programs assume offenders to posess basic cognitive skills. Many do not have the basic skills necessary to perform well. Thinking Matters teaches fundamental cognitive skills via a set of work sheets. I developed Thinking Matters to be used in short length of stay situations but it can be expanded if desired. It can be used for open enrollment, colsed enrollment or for individual sessions. It is currently being facilitated in jails, community residential programs, prisons and community based settings. Thinking Matters is written at about a fifth grade level and is appropriate for use with juvenile offenders.

Can anyone tell me who to contact in the state of Texas for "Thinking for a Change" facilitator training? I need to find somewhere to attend and the closer the better, but I have not identified a training provider in Texas.
