Keep your residents productively occupied with a Library of self-study materials in PDF format!

Our Self-Study Program For Women provides you with a library of materials that you choose that offers a structured approach to self-study. It allows you to keep your residents productively engaged with a minimum of contact with your staff.

Each enhanced workbook includes approximately 5-7 hours of reading, thinking, and writing designed to be done as self-study. With these materials you can create a library of powerful materials covering a wide range of topic areas for women, including workbooks designed especially for women, as well as workbooks covering Substance Abuse, Mental Health, Conflict Reduction, and Transition.

You can select exactly the enhanced workbooks you want, and offer and process them in several ways:

  • Make all of the ones you select directly accessible to residents who can pick and choose the ones that interest them
  • Assign or recommend specific materials based on clinical assessment of the highest needs of each inmate
  • Create an assignable syllabus of workbooks grouped into various topic areas
  • Process the work through examining the responses residents are asked to write in the workbooks
  • Process the work in small groups if possible or in one-on-one conversations

The lists below are organized into topic areas and provide the names of each enhanced workbook. For detailed information on the content of the enhanced workbooks, click on the link that follows each topic area.
