Cognitive Skills
“Thinking for a Change” is the skills program taught by a few staff of Greater Minnesota Family Services. The developer of this program is TRUTHOUGHT and it is based on the writings of Dr. Stanton Samenow.
Truthought
Truthought Corrective Thinking Process is founded upon the understanding that an individual develops behavior patterns, both positive and negative, to explain, support and validate the individual's world view. This basic principle is not new, and is supported by the findings of numerous social and psychological studies. However, understanding a basic principle, and applying that principle to effectively modify behavior is the difference between knowing how a plane works, and being able to fly one.
Truthought proven program, tools, and techniques are effective for prevention and intervention and have tremendous potential for reaching and influencing behavior changes from the least or "nominally irresponsible" persons to the most "at risk" populations in our schools, our businesses and our wider community.
The classes are usually offered one or two times per week. To complete the class requires about a 6 month commitment. For more information contact Greater Minnesota Family Services at 320-214-9692.
