A Drug Abuse Prevention Center (DAPC) at northern Taiwan re-designed a new group counseling program for drug inmates before their discharge in order to enhance their self-awareness, to help them to cope with emotion, to rebuild family relationships, to learn the functions of DAPC, and to get to know the case managers of DAPC. There were eight activities in the new group counseling program in the order as follows: happy gathering, key events in life, the trilogy of emotion, do it yourself (DIY) for emotion, you listen and I talk, be nice to family members, rebuild family relationships, and recall and give best wishes. Each activity took 1.5-2 hours once a week, and the program was given 2 months before the inmates’ discharge. During June-July 2010, 24 drug inmates participated. The inmates were able to recall their key events in life, learn more about themselves, and to express appreciation to their family members. They also learnt that there should be different emotions for different occasions, control their temper, seek help to reduce their stress, speak up and listen. Regarding the statistical analysis of the feedback sheets, high ratings (around 4 and 5, the highest score is 5) were seen for the positive items of the eight activities of the program. However, a bigger variation of rating was seen for the negative items of the different activities of the program. It was particularly worst in the fourth activity 4 (do it yourself (DIY) for emotion). |
