This training will help clinicians identify and confront unhealthy thinking processes with their clients. We will go back to the basics: what purpose does criminal thinking serve and why does it occur. Our trainers will offer possible interventions to challenge unhealthy thinking patterns. This multi-faceted training approach utilizes three distinct perspectives from our therapy staff. Steve Nelson has 40 years of experience in this field, coupled with Will Warner’s experience working with justice-involved clients and our Recovery Support Specialist Caleb Klusmeyer offering a personal voice.

This training will be interactive and hosted live on the Zoom platform.
