The Cognitive Centre of Canada was established at the University of Ottawa in Canada for research and program development on effective methods for the reduction of anti-social behaviour and the prevention of recidivism in juvenile and adult offenders.
The Cognitive Centre developed the internationally accredited cognitive-behavioural Reasoning and Rehabilitation programs (R&R and R&R2) that teach social cognitive skills and values that are antagonistic to antisocial behaviour and are essential to the achievement of pro-social competence - skills that enable and values that motivate desistance from antisocial behaviour.
More than ninety-thousand antisocial youths and adults have been trained in Reasoning & Rehabilitation programs. Programs have been implemented in twenty-six countries. The program materials have been translated in seventeen languages.
Reasoning & Rehabilitation programs are being implemented in a wide variety of correctional settings: social service agencies, institutions for delinquents; probation, prisons, and secure psychiatric hospitals for mentally disordered offenders. They are also being implemented in group homes and community schools. They are being taught to: "at-risk" youth; conduct-disordered youths; delinquents; sex offenders; spouse-abusers; white collar criminals; military prisoners; youths and adults with ADHD or mental health problems.
R&R and R&R2 programs are being facilitated by probation officers; teachers; social workers; psychologists; psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, teachers, front-line correctional staff and by offenders who are graduates of the programs.
The first Reasoning and Rehabilitation program (R&R) was developed in 1986 and is still being implemented world-wide more than 35 years later. The R&R and R&R2 teach social cognitive skills and values. More than 90,000 antisocial youths and adults have been trained in these programs.
The R&R programs are facilitated by R&R trainers who have been taught by instructors and associates of the cognitive centre. In this section you can learn more about the social competence cognitive skills training contents, training materials and how to become an instructor
