Contact Information | Cognitive Behavioral Interventions (CBI)
What We Do
The Cognitive Behavioral Interventions program at LINC, Inc. offers a variety of group sessions to empower justice-involved individuals in making healthy decisions for positive return from incarceration, social interaction, employment potential, and long-term sustained success in reentry.
CBI began in November 2023 with funding from New Hanover County, and was designed to support individuals struggling with opioid misuse disorder. The goal of the program is to decrease participants’ risk of returning to incarceration.
Group sessions provide resources for restructuring how participants process and think through challenges and their own reactions to external triggers.
The schedule of CBI sessions varies from day-to-day and month-to-month, depending upon the number of participants. Sessions generally last from 1 to 1.5 hours. There is no minimum or maximum number of participants. Sessions are conducted in person or online via Zoom or Google Meeting.
