Karl Davidson, president of Karl Davidson Training and Development, offered conference attendees valuable information on personal development and unleashing their potential through openness to change. Numerous other presenters addressed trauma team members during the two-day conference. WSD uses Title IV funds for classes that complement TDCJ substance abuse programs. Funding supports WSD's research-based Cognitive Intervention program. This program facilitates behavior changes in eligible offenders in 39 Texas prison units.
Offenders learn options for modifying non-social and violent behavior while incarcerated.
The positive behavior changes are also intended to help reduce criminal behavior after release from prison and reduce recidivism. Together they sponsored the fourth annual job fair for ex-offenders on September 15, at The Power Center, in Houston. It's not just about assisting the releasee in meeting his or her parole obligations, but about keeping our communities safe. That appeals to everyone. More than 700 releasees attended the job fair.
