Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT)

The State's Department of Corrections (DOC) is offering a Moral Reconation Therapy group for Mentally Ill Offenders in the Court Resource Center. Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) is a systematic, step-by-step treatment strategy designed to enhance self-image, promote growth of a positive, productive identity and facilitate development of higher stages of moral reasoning, life purpose, and other positive personality characteristics. A MRT workbook is provided to each participant, who will be required to complete Steps 1 – 12 during group sessions. The steps cover topics such as disloyalty, opposition, uncertainty, defense mechanisms and many others.

The group accommodates 12-15 participants and meetings are every Monday from 3:00pm to 4:30pm in the Resource Center Multipurpose Room located on the 2nd Floor of the Seattle Justice Center , Room 235. This group is co-facilitated by a staff person from Seattle Mental Health. It typically takes six months to a year to complete the program.
