Whether you adhere to the Risk-Needs-Responsivity model and/or the emerging Desistance models, augmenting a client's social capital is key. In this episode we model the use of a social support map AKA a socio-gram with client Mia Wallace. It is not just about suppressing risky peers, but also filling that void with pro-social supports. Find out one method to do so with your clients!

The "Thought-Behavior link" is at the crux of cognitive behavioral approaches to change. Spot the Dog is a great illustration of how to discuss this concept with clients in relatable terms which most of us can grasp...and to anyone who has ever trained a dog to sit! Client Patrick Bateman is back to assist!
