With limited resources and mounting incarceration costs, add to that the new administration's pledge to promised to eliminate non-performing programs.  Leadership, now more than ever, must do everything it can to adopt evidence supported and data driven practices to ensure success and to get, not just good, but great results. 

As our program dates approach, we invite you to join us in the fabulous city of Houston, Texas for this highly interactive program.  Some have called it "... one of the best “hands on” educational programs I have ever attended, including many Masters level courses I attended in graduate school!”  Also feel free to forward this message to other colleagues you believe would benefit from attending.

Although many organizations will face budget cuts and economic challenges in 2009, we are of the opinion executives must remain proactive by creating your very own "economic stimulus package"! 

This 3-day highly interactive program will equip you and your team to adopt Evidence Based best practices to effectively reduce recidivism and cut jurisdiction costs that can be re-allocated.  You will learn key concepts based on the Transition from Prison to Community (TPC) model that is tested and evidence supported.  Participants will learn to create a comprehensive implementation action plan adapted to their local needs through breakout exercises, action planning and trouble shooting to address core challenges they face.
