One of the most important considerations when implementing an evidence-based practice is program fidelity. There is a natural tendency for program drift over time but ensuring that the components that made the original practice effective are maintained directly impacts the success of the program you are implementing. Starting a new program or just a new MRT class can be daunting and stressful, even for those who have done so before. Why not hire someone who has over 20 years of experience to help you with the task? We offer the following services:
Program Implementation:
Get tailored support to address any questions related to starting a new program at your agency. All guidance is customized to your specific program’s needs—not generalized advice. Whether your questions pertain to your overall treatment facility or are specific to MRT or other classes, we’re here to help. Consultations can be conducted via phone, video chat, or in person. With adequate notice, we can even be there on your first day of classes. Let us help reduce the stress of this process and set your program up for success from the very beginning!
Onsite Quality Assurance/Evaluation:
River Road Counseling and Consulting Services provides tailored consulting services for programs and agencies to enhance their effectiveness and improve treatment outcomes. These services are customized to meet the unique needs of each client and may include reviewing current programs and offering recommendations for enhancements or redesigns to meet or exceed quality standards. After onsite observations, findings will be shared with all relevant parties and can be documented in a detailed report for an additional fee. These services are especially valuable for agencies working with criminal justice clients, substance use clients, drug courts, and similar populations. With over 15 years of experience as a quality assurance evaluator and program developer, we are committed to exceeding your expectations.
MRT Tutoring:
Individualized MRT facilitator mentoring is available upon request for those who have completed Advanced MRT Training. These services are customized to address the specific needs of the student(s), ensuring targeted and effective support.
Training
Training is one of our specialties! Paige Barber brings 24 years of MRT experience and has facilitated at least one MRT group weekly throughout that time. As an Advanced MRT Instructor for CCI, Paige is qualified to certify other "Train the Trainers" for their agencies. This means you get someone who combines deep knowledge with practical expertise; someone who isn’t just “book smart” but someone who knows all the tricks of the trade. Paige will teach you how to successfully implement your MRT group and help you navigate potential barriers to success.
While CCI is the exclusive provider of MRT training, Paige is also available to deliver training in various areas related to criminal justice and substance use. She can customize training sessions to meet the specific needs of your agency.
