Pilot Study Outcomes

A pilot for integrating LAITR into a Missouri Department of Corrections (DOC) Community Supervision Center (CSC) was implemented January-April 2020. In a short period of time, participant results revealed:


Increased general self-efficacy

Anxiety reduction

Increased self-efficacy managing emotions

Reduced sleep disturbances

Reduced feelings of social isolation

Increased independence with life skills


This pilot program led participants to change their typical habits which demonstrated their progress and surprised staff members who have worked with the same individuals for years without promising change. These skills are extraordinarily essential for the population’s successful reentry to the community, maintained sobriety and prevention of recidivism.
