Frequently Asked Questions
Are your materials evidence-based?
Yes. Interactive Journals apply the practices that research demonstrates to be most effective in behavioral change in a client-centered application.
Can you help me select the materials that are the best fit for our programs?
Of course. Because most Interactive Journals are modularized and nonsequential, we will work with you to identify and combine the elements that best support your program objectives and individualize the treatment and case management plans for your clients.
What are your training costs and options?
We have an array of training options that range from free of charge telephone coaching to support your staff in effective facilitation, to an e-Learning suite that offers continuing education units. We offer on-site training for direct implementation as well as training for training models. We will work with you to determine the training that best fits your needs.
How many hour / sessions does it take to complete your Journal / program?
Each Journal is segmented in sections that are delivered in individualized groupings. Rather than a “one size fits all” approach, the flexibility that Interactive Journaling® offers enables it to be used in a variety of configurations. Our consultative sales staff will work with you to construct the most effective program service delivery model.
Can you send me several sample Journals?
We have recently upgraded our website to provide the most thorough and efficient review process for each of our Journals. Our “preview” option enables you to thumb through many pages of each individual Journal. Our experienced staff will be pleased to provide a personalized guided tour through our resources.
What our clients are saying...
- "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."

Our collaborative work on recovery programs for women and girls, for example, provides much-needed gender-responsive tools for a population that is often underserved.
