Making Time Count – 6-Session Workbook

The 6-Session Making Time Count Workbook provides a short version of the 13-session Making Time Count Workbook to be used in conjunction with the book Houses of Healing: A Prisoner’s Guide to Inner Power and Freedom. This abbreviated version of Making Time Count can be used by any incarcerated individual but is especially useful for those who are likely to be incarcerated for less than two months. 

First created to provide programming for men in the San Quentin Reception Center who were just starting their sentence, the COVID pandemic increased the need for high-quality programming that can take place regardless of an individual’s ability to participate in out-of-cell activities. 

Making Time Count leads participants through an abbreviated version of the nationally recognized Houses of Healing Program using clear, easy-to-follow instructions, exercises, and activities. It provides access to a proven and effective program to anyone with a modest reading level, a pen or pencil, and a willingness to engage in rehabilitative programming.

Making Time Count can be used individually, in groups, and in one-on-one counseling. The 13-session edition is recommended for those with more than three months remaining prior to release.
