What people have to say about us and our products

"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."

Robert M. Hooper, Ph.D., CEO, Strategic Solutions for Public Safety

"No one needed to tell me what to do. By the time I finished the last Journal, I had put it in my own words."

Adolescent response to Interactive Journaling®

"True to its name, The Change Companies® continues to evolve and change, finding new ways to meet the needs of diverse client populations. 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. The Change Companies® not only brings structure and consistency to these programs, but also a commitment to creating quality tools that support and guide individuals on a journey of self-change."

Stephanie S. Covington, Ph.D. Author, Clinician, Consultant

"Once I understood that it was up to me, that I was the only one who could do the daily work of change, good things began to happen."

Participant response to Interactive Journaling®

"Changing a lifetime of drugs and crime is not an easy job. This program forced me to recognize that it was all up to me. I am responsible for where I am and I’m responsible for who I will become."

Inmate response to RDAP

"I’ve been in this field for 18 years, and when I first saw My Personal Journal I just loved it! The Change Companies® was very helpful and made it easy to access. We love it because it covers every major area of treatment that we try to cover. We have developed our treatment plan around it. It makes it easy to do charting and when JCAHO and CARF come in, they just think it's great - everything is so clearly documented."

Nan Casey, IOP Coordinator Tennessee Christian Medical Center, Madison, Tennessee

"Interactive Journaling® is a superb tool. Putting a pencil to paper in a focused and structured manner lessens denial, heightens insight and facilitates problem solving. No one understands this concept and offers a better tool than The Change Companies®."
