THE PRISON DR'S PROGRAMS

Every family begins with an initial intervention, delivered either in-person or virtually. This intervention sets the foundation for behavioral change and includes two complimentary therapy sessions with our National Therapist, Raymond Booker, specializing in Marriage and Family Therapy.

Following the intervention, families can select from one of our three structured, 6-month mentorship programs, each designed to support continued transformation, accountability, and long-term success.

Our mentorship programs focus on:

  1. Personal development
  2. Conflict resolution

  3. Family restoration and communication

  4. Emotional intelligence and behavioral accountability

  5. School, career, and life-direction support

These programs ensure consistent follow-up after the intervention, providing families with the ongoing guidance necessary to create lasting change in their household.

To make these transformative experiences accessible, we provide a 10% DISCOUNT for parents opting to pay annually
