ROBERT PORTER

I currently facilitate Self-Help groups in 3 different jails using a curriculum called Houses of Healing. It is CBT-based and addresses the wounded inner child and emotional regulation. For the youth at the Youth Correctional Facility, I utilize "CrossRoads" A UCCI curriculum that has proven effective with the ample amount of time and effort by the participants. I also facilitate self-help groups at the Peaceprints office for youth using "Power Source," which is an offshoot of Houses of Healing and specifically written for youth. I also interview troubled offenders who are facing extensive sentences in state prison, so that they may turn their lives around and become productive citizens once released back into society.
