Completion of 18 modules utilizing the Filling the Inner Void and Job Readiness workbooks. Includes discussion on budgeting and the cost of living in certain areas of Kentucky

Job Readiness







The Job Readiness workbook is used in many settings, including behavioral health agencies, substance use disorder programs, residential programs, vocational programs, welfare-to-work initiatives, and criminal justice settings, among a variety of other settings.

Job Readiness has six sections that are completed in six group meetings. The program can be conducted in either an open-ended, ongoing group (in which new members enter when assigned), or as an educational program in which all members proceed at the same pace.

The workbook explains what a “good employee” is and helps with self-assessment, setting work goals, and developing good work habits. The workbook also covers how to get and keep a job, and how and why people get promoted to enable ongoing success.

Participants gain confidence and strategies for approaching employers for meaningful work, as well as an understanding of how to keep a job.

Filling the Inner Void







This 120-page workbook is an adaptation of basic MRT that was initially designed for hospital-based programs and clients in private practice. The book goes into several deeper concepts than the offender or juvenile-based versions cover. The Jungian idea of the “shadow” is presented along with ideas about understanding why many people accumulate so many material objects.

Target Population & Use

The book was developed for use with non-offender populations especially in hospital, residential treatment, and private practice settings. MRT is an NREPP evidence-based program.

How It Is Conducted

The program is implemented in small groups or in individual counseling sessions. Clients complete homework for each group prior to coming to a session. All MRT groups are open-ended, meaning that new clients can enter an ongoing group at any time. Each group session will usually have new clients as well as some finishing the program. All MRT facilitators must complete basic MRT training.
