Enhanced Thinking Skills
The Enhanced Thinking
Skills programme, which is a group-based programme for male and female
offenders. The programme does what it says - the sessions help you to think
things through more clearly. In other words: stop: think: and then act.
Philip
says ...
"The different role plays in ETS helped me
understand things. I did one with another guy who pretended to be a drug
pusher. You have to think of it like a real situation. ETS teaches you how to
stop and think.
"The tutors try and get into your mind. I
have learnt that other people have a right to their own opinion. You may
disagree with it, but they have a right to say it. In the past I didn't respect
that.
"I feel that you have to embrace ETS, you
have to see the programme as a positive thing. To get something out of it, you
have got to put something in. There is homework to do after the sessions.
If you muck it up, then speak to the tutors. You have to stay focussed."
