Moral Reconation Program
Available in: Perth Metro
MRT is a voluntary, group-based recovery support program for offenders pre- and post-release from metro prisons across Western Australia.
Each group is facilitated by two specialist MRT trainers who will guide participants through the twelve steps of the program, which culminate in setting goals and planning for the future. The program helps people:
- promote positive self-identity and feel better about themselves
- learn positive social behaviours and beliefs
- make better decisions for themselves and the people around them
- connect with others for support and remain stable in their recovery goals.
The program generally takes around 16 weeks to complete and is open-ended, so participants can enter the group at any time.
The Moral Reconation Therapy program is based on Kohlberg’s Theory of Moral Reasoning and Erikson’s Theory of Personality Development. It is delivered by both Cyrenian House and Holyoake, offering assessment, counselling and referral services for offenders pre- and post-release.
