Complete disappointment not really working with people in the community. 1st eliminating people from programs without notification or warnings. 2nd counselors not familiar with class or on going groups. 3rd making decisions for parenting programs with no intake or departure evaluations. This course is a mistake for someone to attend . Also you will have to take a course and purchase a book written by the owner in order to complete the program. This is a complete money making racket and has no goals or empathy for the clients. Beware as Matt and trey Nance have no empathy and are not really taking

The people there are incredibly rude and don't care about what really happened in your case. Every time you try and scedule therapy with them they always tell you that the times they listed for you have already been taken by someone else and give you really inconvenient times for your court ordered therapy.
It's like they want to see you fail and go back to jail. Don't choose these people they are impossible to work with and just see you as a paycheck.

The secretaries that set up appointments are very rude over the phone. And tend to over talk you while explaining your situation to them. Which makes it impossible for you to get questions answered. Instead of over talking people, why don’t they help people by listening to them first? No stars would be more appropriate for this company.

It’s a hit and miss here. Sometimes you walk away with great things to think on for the week. And other times you’re left wondering what the meeting was even about.
I think this program is a great way to see that many people in all walks of life make the choice to live or be a victim. While here no one casts judgement and your fellow mates will provide advice from personal experience in their worldly view.
Don’t waste to join on your own it’s worth living again with out fear or resentment towards anyone.
