III. Module 6 Course Content

Introduction

The Therapeutic Community Modality Program (TCMP) is a self-help social learning

treatment model which utilizes the community as the primary therapeutic vehicle to foster behavioral
and attitudinal change. In this modality, the person learns and practices skills and responsibilities
through structured activities that they can transfer to the society upon their release. Each participant is
expected to be a contributing member of the community and develops the impetus to change by being a
member of the community.

IV. Lecture/ Discussion

VOCATIONAL/SURVIVAL SKILLS

The development of vocational and survival skills starts at the beginning of performance in job functions
in the TC Community which has substantial value to the individual. Its aim is not only to detain or
confine residents but also to challenge them to learn vocational skills for their reentry to the
community. Vocational rehabilitation helps the individual to become less dependent, adapt himself and
become more independent by making positive changes.

SKILLS AND ATTITUDE DEVELOPMENT

Thinking + Feeling = Behavior

Thinking + Feeling + Behavior = Attitude

An attitude is a set of feelings, thoughts and disposition. Attitudes determine how one will act.
Attitude stems from the way one thinks, feels and behave. The ideas formed from one’s thinking will
be translated into feelings. Thinking coupled with feelings will determine the reaction of an individual
to certain situations. The person’s attitude will shape his ability to learn and absorb all the teachings
inside the program.

It will design his willingness to take on responsibilities and develop oneself. An individual’s attitude is
relevant to his development in the area of vocation and occupation. It speaks of his adaptability and
flexibility to the different tasks and functions. It will predetermine how he will later on perform in the
hierarchical ladder. The development of skills is inseparable with the other components of TC as each
component plays a vital part in the shaping of one’s attitude.

STAFF FUNCTIONS

Director
JO2 GLEN LILING LUCENOPage 9
CA 3 THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY MODULE 6
 The Warden serves as the Director of the facility. He oversees all the activities in the program. He
designates staff to serve as Counselors. He makes final decisions as to what sanctions or learning
experiences will be meted out to erring residents.

Assistant Director

This position is usually occupied by the Assistant Warden. He takes over the responsibilities in the
absence of the Director. He reports directly to the Director and assists him in the conduct of the latter’s
responsibilities.

Counselor

A staff is assigned as a Counselor for each department. The jail set up is unique as the Counselors take
on other responsibilities in addition.

Due to the inadequate number of jail personnel, custodial officers are oftentimes assigned as
Counselors. The Counselors are responsible for the conduct of the different activities of TC on a daily
basis. Each Counselor will monitor the activities of their respective departments. They will conduct
individual counseling and facilitate groups. They are present in the conduct of the different behavior
shaping tools. Instead of being the dominant figure, the Counselor’s role is to bolster or enhance the
community as the primary change agent and build the community to function around the established
hierarchy.

This kind of Job Change will be done regularly every six (6) months. This will be done by the TCMP
Director by calling all the staff/ counselors in order to facilitate the procedural change of positions
handled by department heads and coordinators. Once the meeting is done, the coordinators will now
apply for the positions as to where they want to be assigned that will be evaluated by the staff before
giving them their new assignments. After each assignment is identified, the Director or the IWDO will
then announce to the community the new assignments and positions the applicants are holding.

 A sudden change of position and responsibility will occur if a certain resident holding key position
commits infraction such as violation of cardinal rules. Such infraction has been verified and investigated
by the responsible inmates and such investigation report has reached the staff. It is assumed that the
members of the disciplinary board have already sanctioned the resident after which, he will be ousted of
his present position and promotion and demotion will take effect.

For example;
A coordinator of the Kitchen Department was found out using the food container to facilitate entry of
alcoholic beverages. He will be given sanction by the members of the disciplinary board after the
investigation and the department head of kitchen will assume his position and a crew can be promoted
to take the department head position.
