Continuing our series.

In this video, a lieutenant reflects on hearing data that challenged everything he had seen in years of corrections work. At first, it didn’t seem possible. The results felt too significant to be true.

But by the end of the week, skepticism turned into a clear decision: the entire reentry program would be built around Moral Reconation Therapy.

Next week, we share how that decision aligned with a long-held vision for the jail system.

★ Facilitator Review ★

Hands-on learning is often what bridges training and real-world application.

Professionals attending Moral Reconation Therapy- MRT® trainings frequently highlight the value of completing the MRT workbook themselves and practicing how to present the steps. This experiential approach builds confidence, deepens understanding of the structure, and strengthens facilitation skills before entering a group setting.

Participants also note how knowledgeable and prepared trainers are, creating space for questions, clarity, and meaningful learning throughout the training.

Remember our trainings are open to all professionals with no clinical background required.

What do you do when the results in front of you contradict everything your experience has taught you?

In this video continues our new series in which a lieutenant reflects on hearing decades of data showing a significant reduction in recidivism and struggling to believe it at first. Years working inside the jail system had never produced outcomes like that. Hearing the same evidence repeated forced a pause, a question, and a closer look.

This moment reflects the tension between lived experience and evidence, and the questions that followed.

Continuing part 2 of our new series:
In this video, Lieutenant Chris Cook shares his perspective on how much the jail system in Bedford County changed during his time away from corrections. Returning years later, the numbers no longer looked the same, and it raised questions that couldn’t be ignored.

This conversation reflects one person’s firsthand experience and the moment that led Bedford County to start rethinking reentry and long-term outcomes. 💙

Many professionals are working in environments where extended time with an individual simply does not exist. Programs are shorter. Engagement windows are limited. Yet the need for accountability and forward movement remains.

Finding Your Way Home was designed with these realities in mind. It is a brief, MRT-based program created specifically for professionals already trained in Moral Reconation Therapy- MRT® and working in short-term or lower-risk settings. The structure supports reflection, direction, and decision-making without requiring a lengthy curriculum.

This approach allows facilitation to feel aligned with the time and setting professionals actually have, making progress possible instead of constantly feeling out of reach.
