WI DOC Evidence-Based Program Standards: Cognitive-Behavioral Program; Employment Program; Sex Offender Treatment Service; Substance Use Disorder Treatment; and Virtual Program Delivery (Info only - This is NOT a bid!)

The Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WI DOC) has developed evidence-based program standards for various programs, including Cognitive-Behavioral Programs, Employment Programs, Sex Offender Treatment, Substance Use Disorder Treatment, and Virtual Program Delivery. These standards aim to increase the effectiveness and consistency of service delivery, consider fiscal and human resources, and identify subordinate goals, objectives, and outcomes. The standards also emphasize the importance of evidence-based practices, risk assessment, and responsivity factors. The document provides an overview of the different programs, their objectives, population, program location, group type, and duration. • The programs listed include Moral Reconation Therapy, Moving On, Juvenile Cognitive Interventions Program, Thinking for a Change, Anger Control Training, Aggression Replacement Training, Cognitive-Behavioral Interventions for Offenders Seeking Employment, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Thinking for a Change for Domestic Violence Offenders. • The document also provides a list of references and research studies that support the effectiveness of these programs in reducing recidivism and improving offender outcomes. • The WI DOC encourages providers to review these standards and consider them when developing program proposals. • The agency contact, Kathy Kaeding, is available for questions and inquiries.
