Decision Points

Decision Points is an open-entry cognitive behavior intervention program designed for delivery with youth and adult populations in contact with the justice system. The program is built on the principle of the “Strategy of Choices”, and equips participants with alternative ways to examine their thinking and the related actions that lead them into trouble.

angeR Management

Some anger management participants are court-mandated to take classes as a condition of probation, or by their employer. These are individuals who generally are not seeking traditional mental health services, but rather an educational approach. Their freedom and/or livelihood may depend on the completion of a recognized anger management program or classes.

This treatment approach to domestic violence focuses upon achieving ‘safety for all’ and also includes anger management skills and techniques for individuals’ future relationships.

How We do it...

Our Process & House Rules

CMNRP’s primary focus is centered on the person(s) and maximizing their potential to take ownership of their re-entry process. The program is grounded in relationship with the individual, which is built within the context of our transitional housing. 

House rules focus on responsibility, accountability, and interpersonal relational dynamics. We maintain close relationships with supervising officers, which allows us to support our client’s efforts to lay and build upon a stable foundation for long term success.

“The re-entry project provided me with opportunities for growth, support, and empowerment. It allowed me to rebuild my life, pursue my goals, and regain hope for a brighter future.”
D.D.
“The re-entry project has given me a place I could basically call my own. I have responsibilities on my shoulders that I need to do to survive safely in the community. It is a safe place, and I have support with staff when I need it. Plus, I have a few chores around the property that I enjoy doing and am credited for in the process.”
D.S.
“Where am I gonna stay? How will I afford it? Who is willing to give me a second chance at life? The re-entry project provided me with stability, calm, and a sense of acceptance despite my past mistakes. These positive attributes not only motivated me to become self-sufficient, but also pushed me to prove that their generous investment in me would not be in vain. A Godsend that I will always be grateful for.”
K.O.
“Lady Bird Johnson once said, “The environment is where we all meet, where we all have a mutual interest. It is the one thing all of us share.” I believe in her powerful conviction to this ideology and would add; “Environment has the power to change and transform.” What I personally have experienced in the re-entry program has been an environment of encouragement and Hope. The environment within the program has driven me to desire higher awareness, character, and spirituality in the service of others. This is where change and healing begins.”
D.L.
"My name is Travis and I was made aware of CMNRP in 2009 when I was in the Stearns County Jail in Huber. This program has been a great support system for needing to talk and understand where I’m coming from. I made contact with CMNRP while I was in jail and when I was done serving my time they were able to get me started immediately. They made me aware of community resources for rental places and employment opportunities. Even though it’s been difficult to acquire employment they continue to encourage me to tap into all the resources. This is a great program for myself and others who have become hopeless and unaware about being able to find residence and employment to become an asset in the community. I hope that this program will continue helping others like myself to be contributing members in society."
T.B.
"My name is Trevor and I have gone to CMNRP in St. Cloud for support and resources that I was in need of. I was homeless even though I had a full-time job and needed support and resources so I could become stable and an active contributing member of society. I was in a terrible situation and refused to move my family into a place where there is alcohol and drug activity. I’m writing this to let others know that CMNRP will help as long as you are willing to help yourself. CMNRP helped me to find housing in a safe environment for me to move my family and myself into. So as long as you are serious about turning your life around and helping yourself and family out then the CMNRP is the right organization for you."
T.L.
"The Central MN Re-Entry Project is a big help to me. The staff are very good people and easy to work with and they are knowledgeable about resources pertaining to housing and employment. CMNRP helped me with various connections and resources which are very helpful."

“My time at CMNRP has opened my eyes to a lot of new experiences. I have seen the struggles many go through, who have criminal backgrounds. From people who are just getting out of prison, to individuals who have been out for several years, but their felony is still preventing them from opportunities. I’m grateful I had this opportunity to interact with the staff and clients at CMNRP, and gain some knowledge that will further assist me in my career.”
J.D.
“I just want to thank you and the Re-Entry for what you’ve done for me. I’ll never forget the chance you gave me…Again thank you for helping me get my life started here in St. Cloud, it’s been a blessing.”
