CBI-SA – HOPE Ministries

CBI (Cognitive Behavioral Intervention) HOPE Ministries
CBI at Helping Out People Everyday Ministries is facilitated by Pastor Valerie Frazier as part of her vision to restore families, reduce recidivism, and battle addiction to help heal our community. It is an evidence based program brought to clients with a twist of compassion, empathy and a lot of love. Pastor Frazier's unique approach to delivering a gender specific, proven program has had a positive impact on hundreds of clients and their families over the years. Primarily clients are referred from the San Joaquin County collaborative courts and Probation Department, but services are offered to anyone who is committed to changing their lives.

The Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention for Substance Abuse (CBI-SA) curriculum is designed for individuals that are moderate to high need in the area of substance abuse and well suited for criminal justice populations. The curriculum can be delivered as a stand-alone substance abuse intervention, or incorporated into a larger program, particularly those designed for clients in the corrections system. As the name of the curriculum suggests, this intervention relies on a cognitive behavioral approach to teach participants strategies for avoiding substance abuse. The program places heavy emphasis on skill building activities to assist with cognitive, social, emotional, and coping skill development. Such cognitive behavioral strategies have routinely demonstrated high treatment effects, including when used with a correctional population.
