THE LANGUAGE OF SUPERVISION
This is the training that started it all. How to motivate, communicate, and employ models when working with resistive populations. This training has been presented to law enforcement, prisons, hospitals, and counselors nationwide. Where did your staff learn their verbal skills ?  Your agency will be given actual questions to use when conducting interviews that they can immediately put to use. This training will change the way you do business by giving your staff more client information, more consistently, than they have ever had before.

WORKING WITHIN  COGNITIVE PROGRAMS
‘Cog 101’ for agencies looking for a fresh approach and model when presenting their existing subject matter. Henry Ford said that  ”A man is what he thinks about all day long” and cognitive approaches give that certain kind of added emphasis to drug, alcohol, educational, probation, and community-building programs.

THE FRANKLIN REALITY MODEL
Seven natural laws and five steps to apply when approaching any of  life’s problems. The information contained in this powerful presentation was originally developed by U.S. Senator Robert Bennett. It applies equally to the inmate as well as the corrections officer…the drug addict as well as the therapist …the administrator as well as the staff. This training has even been requested by a church congregation to orient a new minister. Practical information for an often impractical world. A fun and fast paced exercise that can have a huge impact on self-motivation for anyone who is exposed to these concepts.

CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE
If an offender or domestic violence victim is part of your professional world you can use this training to learn ways to keep your own balance when dealing with these highly emotional issues. Understand the domestic world as it is viewed by both the perpetrator and his victim. Learn how to avoid mistakes when enforcing conditions, mediating between parties, or protecting the victim. A must for victims advocates, police officers, district attorneys, and ‘anger management’ providers.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND PROBATION
This training is designed for law enforcement agencies and their community partners. An appropriate training for DV groups to sponsor when doing community education with police and corrections agencies. Also, an excellent training for case-carrying parole and probation officers to understand such issues as male privilege, defensive wounds, the Duluth Model, power and control, and assault versus abuse. Always intense, usually controversial, this training confronts the unspoken dynamics that is at the core of many offender relationships. If it touches on areas sensitive to staff…so be it. 

SUPERVISING THE SUBSTANCE ABUSER
There is a great deal of difference between treating the substance abuser and supervising the substance abuser. Does your agency work in harmony with the therapeutic community or you working at cross purposes. What are the issues of confidentiality ? What model does your therapists use in treating  a mandated population. Does your agency motivate your clients or make them more resistive to treatment ? Does your staff think that treatment works? These questions are critical to answer before a systematic effort to address addiction in your community can be launched. Learn how an entire county invented a system in response to the so-called war on drugs.

OFFENDER PROFILE
Who are these people we supervise?  Where did they get their belief systems and how do they employ their world-view in getting what they want. Learn how to dissect the simplest statement to reveal the true self-image as opposed to the mask offenders wear when they face society. Are all ways of behaving equally moral ? If not, how do offenders justify their behavior to themselves, their families, and their communities? There are many common traits shared by offenders that transcend gender, race, and age. And learn them quickly if you plan to be in law enforcement, counseling, or administration.

OFFENDER TACTICS
This is usually offered as a companion piece to Offender Profile but is designed for entry level staff as well as senior staff who are getting frustrated in their job. This training grew out of a course taught by Carl Reddick at the Oregon Police Academy and has consistently proven most popular with any staff who typically carry caseloads. Children’s Service agencies, Juvenile Departments, and Correctional Institution staff have agitated for this information for years. Here it is. Learn how to anticipate intimidation and turn it into a cognitive exercise for the client.
