The Role of Day Reporting: Q&A with GEO Reentry Director of Programs

What’s it like attending a GEO Reentry Day Reporting Center (DRC)? How does GEO Reentry develop treatment plans for each participant in a day reporting program? What sets these programs apart?

During a recent Q&A session, Director of Programs Mathew Abraham, PhD, explained how a personalized approach paired with evidence-based practices support participants to change their thinking:

“We find out what their individual needs are. We really focus on individualized programming. The second differentiator is that we really hold our participants accountable for the change that they want to make in their lives.”

Not only do they hold participants accountable—they hold themselves accountable. In the interview above, Dr. Abraham explains how program fidelity plays an important role in the effectiveness of every GEO Reentry program. By monitoring the progress of every participant and tracking outcomes, GEO Reentry can ensure that participants are continuing to transition back to their communities successfully.
