These men have spent the last several months working together to develop skills that will serve them well in their future. Last week, they graduated from the Thinking for a Change (T4C) program at the Nebraska State Penitentiary.

T4C is designed to help participants learn social and problem-solving skills that will allow them to react to situations in positive ways. Developed by the National Institute of Corrections, this high-level cognitive behavioral program utilizes role playing to address attitudes, behavior, family, friends and change criminogenic thinking. Throughout the class, these men practiced applying the skills they learned to real-life scenarios. Moving forward, they can be confident that they have the tools to make positive choices.

A big thank you to the class facilitators for their dedication to this group.
