DEMETRIS BAKER
The A.N.D. Program has provided me with positive, indelible, insight, and tools to use for prevention of criminal behavior in prison and back in society. Through teachings of the A.N.D. facilitators I have learned many valuable lessons from the curriculums C.B.T. (Cognitive Behavior Thinking), self-control, Anger Management etc. Equipping myself with better behavior patterns and utilizing what I’ve learned in my everyday life when interacting with people also helped with my social skills.
Not only did I receive a better character while being a part of A.N.D., I also picked up some entrepreneurial skills from A.N.D.’s Business 101 course, with a Goal Setting class to help me structure and put together my plans for building a positive lifestyle while in prison and upon being re-inserted back into society.
Now if that’s not A New Direction, then you may want to check yours.
