What's Being Said About Us...
"The Change
Companies®' curricula effectively integrate motivational enhancement and
cognitive behavioral approaches to helping youth and families make positive
changes. The Interactive Journaling® approach provides a challenging and
thought-provoking framework for the clients to evaluate factors that contribute
to their problems, and to learn and apply new skills. I believe these curricula
are an asset to residential treatment facilities, correctional facilities and
outpatient counseling programs."

"For the past several
years I have engaged The Change Companies® in selecting and creating
Interactive Journals for several criminal justice populations. Through
journaling, clients are better prepared to discuss topics in group and
individual settings. It's an economical way of extending the treatment
process while giving each client a point of reference for ongoing
change."
