Sometimes, it can be taken for granted that people are able to manage, cope, or deal with, the variety of challenges and problems that everyday life can throw their way. But how do people know how to use such skills if they have never been taught them? Or, how can we improve such skills when they are already present? Arguably, it is by increasing the individual's ability to manage the variety of difficult and sometimes complex situations in day-to-day life that supports the personal choice of not resorting to problematic or even offending behaviour. This workbook offers creative solutions for practitioners who work with clients identified as having general deficits in their thinking skills, and an inability to cope with day-to-day problems within the community. It contains a blend of practical exercises and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) skills that the practitioner can use with adults and young people (15+) on a one-to-one basis to help support them with their problems. The exercises are easy to follow, powerful and adaptable to different learning styles. Simply pick the book up, and go
Getting back into work, or accessing education, whether for the first time or after a break, can seem like a big and potentially insurmountable step for some. However, it can be a critical one along the path to desistance, with research supporting the importance of stable employment as part of rehabilitation. The particular issues faced by offenders present an added challenge to practitioners supporting their clients in this process. Getting the balance of motivation, realism and direction right can be difficult. Employment has to be more than just a 'job'. Factoring it in as a positive change means enabling someone to find a position which incorporates, or encourages, their interests. It is this which garners the client's interest and increases their motivation to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. This workbook has been written primarily for probation professionals, and designed specifically with offenders in mind; however it is applicable to anyone who is career hunting. It covers all aspects of job hunting, from finding a career to CV writing and disclosing convictions; providing a structured manner in which to collate the required information. This workbook also approaches the subject with a unique twist on the usual ETE work through exercises to motivate, inspire, as well as manage feelings of rejection.

Thinking Skills, and addressing identified thinking skill deficits, form the basis of much of the rehabilitative work done with those who commit offences and anti-social behaviour. For a practitioner, being able to effectively challenge this area in a constructive manner with the client is an important tool, alongside linking work done in any session with the client's 'real life' and environment. The importance of thinking skills as a foundation for interventions, and for building further focussed interventions, can be seen in the Probation Service, Youth Offending Services, Prisons and even schools, where individuals with the greatest needs are often found and highlighted. This workbook offers creative and memorable solutions for practitioners who work with clients identified as having problematic, or deficits, in thinking skills - where this has led offending, or other problematic and antisocial behaviours. It contains exercises that the practitioner can use with adults and young people (15+) on a one-to-one basis or within a small group. The exercises are easy to follow, powerful, and adaptable to different learning styles. Simply pick it up, and go Full details on the Bennion Kearny website.
Increasing the understanding of the impact that someone's behaviour has on another person's is becoming an increasingly important tool for practitioners who attempt to reduce both reoffending and other general problematic behaviours. Its importance can be seen in the Probation Services, Youth Offending Services, Prisons and even schools who have decided to promote and implement aspects of an intervention called Restorative Justice (RJ). Using RJ, however, comes at a huge cost. This can be seen in both the training of staff to deliver it and also in the time required to undertake the intervention. So what are the alternatives? This workbook offers creative solutions for practitioners who are working with perpetrators of offending, or other problematic and antisocial behaviour, on a one-to-one basis. It benefits from exercises that the practitioner can use with adults and young people (15+) which are easy to follow, powerful and adaptable to all different learning styles. Simply pick it up, and go This book is part of Bennion Kearny's Probation Workbook Series, and full details are available on the Bennion Kearny website.
