The RFP solicitation was posted on July 7, 2025, with proposals due by July 25, 2025. CNF's proposal details comprehensive cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) programming tailored to three primary offender populations: individuals convicted of sexual offenses, career criminals with extensive criminal histories, and individuals with substance use disorders. Services will be delivered through a combination of in-person programming at office locations in Pima County and partner sites across multiple Arizona counties (Maricopa, Pinal, Cochise, Yuma, Santa Cruz, Coconino, Mohave, and Yavapai), as well as statewide telehealth options via HIPAA-compliant platforms. CNF commits to enrolling eligible applicants within 72 business hours of referral and proposes utilizing evidence-based curricula including Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Sexual Offending (CBI-SO), Thinking for a Change (T4C), CBI-EMP, Hazelden's A New Direction workbooks, and materials aligned with SAMHSA guidelines. The contract term and specific award date are not detailed in this attachment.

CNF's proposal emphasizes a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach integrating the Good Lives Model alongside traditional CBT methodologies to support long-term behavioral change and reduce recidivism. All clinical services will be delivered by licensed or certified behavioral health professionals including Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs), Licensed Master Social Workers (LMSWs), Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), and Behavioral Health Technicians with specialized training in CBT, sexual offense-specific therapy, and criminal justice interventions. The proposal commits to utilizing Azalea Health, a secure electronic health record system, to provide ADCRR-designated staff real-time access to client tracking data, attendance records, and progress monitoring within 30 days of contract award. CNF will submit monthly reports by the 10th workday of each month, discharge summaries within three business days, quarterly and annual outcome analyses, and real-time alerts for safety concerns including drug use, assaults, and absconding.

Request for Proposal Solicitation No. BPM007036

Community Accountability Program Services for Community Corrections Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry 701 E. Jefferson Street Phoenix, AZ 85034

Attachment 12 - Method of Approach

1. Offeror Response: Provision of Sexual Offense–Specific CBT Services (Including the Good Lives Model)

Community Network & Fellowship, Inc. (CNF) is fully prepared to deliver Sexual Offense– Specific Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) that is structured, trauma-informed, and aligned with national best practices—including the integration of the Good Lives Model (GLM), a strengths-based approach to reducing recidivism by helping clients build purposeful and meaningful lives.

Our overall goal is to help individuals take full responsibility for their behavior, understand and change the thinking patterns that led to their offense, and build healthier, law-abiding lifestyles where harmful behavior is no longer seen as necessary or acceptable.

What Makes Our Approach Unique: Combining CBT with the Good Lives Model

While CBT focuses on identifying and changing distorted or harmful thinking patterns (such as denial, minimization, or lack of empathy), the Good Lives Model goes a step further by helping individuals develop positive goals and build internal tools and external resources to lead meaningful, prosocial lives.

Here’s how we integrate both models:

• CBT helps the client identify what not to do—challenging harmful thoughts and behaviors.

• GLM helps the client identify what to focus on what a fulfilling and prosocial life looks like and how to achieve it.

We help participants understand that living a life full of purpose, connection, and achievement is not only possible, it reduces their risk of reoffending.

Core Components of CNF’s Sexual Offense–Specific CBT + GLM Program

1. Understanding the Offense Cycle:

o Using CBI-SO (Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Sexual Offending) curriculum o Clients identify the thoughts, feelings, choices, and situations that led to the offense o They explore their personal “offense chain” and create relapse prevention strategies

2. Accountability & Empathy Development:

o Clients are supported in taking responsibility for their actions o Focus is placed on understanding victim impact and building empathy o We use structured discussions, journaling, and guided reflection

3. Strengths-Based Life Planning (GLM Focus):

o Clients define personal goals in key areas such as healthy relationships, meaningful work, personal identity, and emotional well-being o We help clients build the internal capabilities (skills, coping, emotional regulation) and external supports (education, community ties, employment) to achieve these goals o This reduces reliance on harmful or manipulative behavior to meet unmet needs

4. Relapse Prevention & Healthy Life Maps:

o Clients create Good Lives Plans, identifying how they will meet their personal needs in ways that are legal, safe, and respectful o CBT-based tools are used to prepare for high-risk situations and build pro-social coping strategies

Curriculum and Materials Used:

• CBI-SO (University of Cincinnati Corrections Institute):

Evidence-based CBT curriculum for sexual offending populations

• The Relapse Prevention Workbook for Offenders (Rosenthal):

Helps create practical safety plans and insight into risk triggers

• Good Lives Model Workbook and Adapted GLM Tools Customized planning sheets, goal-building modules, and life-mapping exercises based on GLM

• SAMHSA TIP Series (36, 44, 59):

Resources used to support trauma-informed and culturally competent care

All materials are used alongside group discussions, individual counseling, and case coordination with parole/probation.

Client Assessments and Progress Tracking

Each client will:

• Receive a comprehensive bio-psycho-social and clinical assessment

• Be evaluated using tools such as the Static-99R, Stable-2007, and Criminal Thinking Scale (CTS)

• Complete pre- and post-treatment assessments to measure thinking shifts, empathy growth, and risk reduction

Progress is reviewed with both clinical staff and supervising agencies to ensure safety and transparency.

Qualified Staff & Oversight

CNF staff delivering this service:

• Are licensed or certified mental health professionals (LPC, LMSW, BHT)

• Have training in CBT, Good Lives Model applications, sexual offense–specific therapy, and trauma-informed care

• Receive ongoing supervision and attend regular case reviews to maintain quality and consistency

In Summary:

CNF’s integrated Sexual Offense–Specific CBT + Good Lives Model program:

• Holds clients accountable while equipping them with tools to succeed in life

• Helps participants understand the why behind their behavior and how to change it

• Encourages long-term success by supporting positive goals, community engagement, and stable living

• Uses proven, evidence-based curriculum and experienced, trained professionals

• Prioritizes both public safety and client transformation

We believe this balanced and forward-looking model is one of the most effective ways to reduce sexual recidivism while supporting meaningful rehabilitation.

2. Describe how you will provide Career Criminal specific CBT? Please include the curriculum and materials that will be used.

Community Network & Fellowship, Inc. (CNF) offers a specialized version of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals who have committed multiple or long-term criminal offenses. This is often referred to as a “career criminal” population—people who have lived much of their lives involved in the criminal justice system and often struggle with deeply rooted thinking and behavior patterns.

Our goal is to help these individuals change the way they think, behave, and respond to stress, frustration, or conflict—so they can make better choices, stop returning to jail or prison, and begin living safe, productive, law-abiding lives.

What Makes This Program Different:

People with a long history of criminal activity often:

• See rules as optional

• Use manipulation, control, or aggression to solve problems

• Feel a deep mistrust of authority or the system

• Are stuck in harmful habits that feel “normal”

Our program is designed to directly address these issues, helping clients:

• Recognize the thinking traps that keep them stuck (like blaming others, justifying wrong behavior, or seeking instant gratification)

• Practice new thinking and behavior skills in real-life situations

• Rebuild their life goals around values like family, freedom, stability, and purpose

Core Topics We Cover in Career Criminal CBT:

1. Challenging Criminal Thinking We help clients recognize and challenge distorted thinking patterns—like entitlement, blaming others, or believing that crime is their only option.

2. Decision-Making and Impulse Control Clients learn how to slow down, think before acting, and consider consequences before making decisions.

3. Problem-Solving and Handling Conflict We teach real-life strategies to handle anger, frustration, and peer pressure without resorting to illegal or aggressive behavior.

4. Accountability and Self-Reflection Clients are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions and build insight into how their choices impact themselves and others.

5. Building a New Lifestyle We help participants identify what a healthy, legal, and meaningful life looks like— and begin taking steps to achieve it (including employment, relationships, housing, and community involvement).

Curriculum and Materials Used:

CBI-EMP (Cognitive Behavioral Interventions for Employment)

• Designed by the University of Cincinnati Corrections Institute

• Helps clients improve thinking skills and become job-ready

• Focuses on responsibility, workplace behavior, and long-term planning

• Especially effective for clients transitioning from long-term incarceration

Thinking for a Change (T4C)

• Developed by the National Institute of Corrections

• A widely used CBT program that combines social skills, problem-solving, and changing criminal thinking

• Offers easy-to-follow exercises and group discussions for self-awareness and behavior change

The Change Companies CBT Journals

• Includes workbooks like “Responsible Thinking,” “Handling Difficult Feelings,” and “My New Direction”

• Interactive tools that help clients track their thoughts, goals, and progress

• Designed for justice-involved adults in both group and individual therapy

SAMHSA’s TIP 44:

• A guide for treating individuals in the criminal justice system

• Ensures our program is trauma-informed, culturally appropriate, and client-focused

How Services Are Delivered:

• Group Therapy: Clients attend 1–2 sessions per week, led by trained professionals

• One-on-One Support: Individual counseling is available to address personal needs

• Telehealth Option: All services can be provided through a secure virtual platform when necessary

• Real-Life Application: Clients create life plans, identify personal goals, and work on behavior change in and out of session

Tracking Progress and Reporting:

• Clients are assessed at the beginning (pre-test) and again at the end (post-test) to measure changes in thinking and behavior

• All progress is documented in a secure system

• Reports are sent to parole/probation officers and ADCRR staff as required

• CNF attends case conferences and collaborates with DOC professionals to ensure continuity of care

Who Delivers the Program:

All services are provided by qualified professionals who:

• Are licensed or certified (LPC, LAC, LMSW, BHT)

• Have experience working with high-risk, justice-involved individuals

• Are trained in CBT, trauma-informed care, and behavior change models

• Undergo regular supervision and fidelity checks to ensure quality service delivery

In Summary:

CNF’s Career Criminal–Specific CBT program:

• Helps people with long-term justice involvement break harmful cycles

• Focuses on thinking, accountability, and life skills to reduce repeat offenses

• Uses trusted, proven programs that are widely used in correctional systems

• Is delivered by trained professionals in safe, respectful, and structured settings

Our mission is to give individuals the tools they need to turn their lives around—for good.

3. Are you able to meet the mandatory office requirements under Section 3. PROGRAM

DELIVERY – OFFICES?

Offeror Response:

Yes, Community Network & Fellowship, Inc. (CNF) is fully able to meet the mandatory office requirements listed under Section 3 of the Program Delivery guidelines. We have active, functioning offices and partnerships in place and are well-prepared to expand our services across Arizona as the Community Accountability Program grows.

Where We Are Located Now

CNF currently operates a fully equipped office in Pima County. This location is:

• Open to the public

• ADA-compliant (accessible to individuals with disabilities)

• Easy to reach by public transportation

• Set up to host individual and group counseling sessions, case management appointments, and other services

This space is already being used to provide mental health services, CBT programming, and client support in a structured, safe, and professional environment.

Other Areas We Can Serve

In addition to Pima County, we have access to spaces and partnerships in several other counties where we can offer in-person or mobile services:

• Maricopa County

• Pinal County

• Yuma County

• Cochise County

• Santa Cruz County

In these areas, we use community centers, housing facilities, and behavioral health clinics to run pop-up CBT groups, mobile case management services, and telehealth sessions.

This means even if a formal office doesn’t exist yet in some counties, we can still deliver services effectively and consistently.

Our Plan to Expand Across Arizona

As ADCRR expands this program, we are ready to grow right along with it. Here’s how:

Telehealth for Every County

We already use a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth system that allows clients to meet with our staff through video calls from any location in Arizona. This makes our services accessible statewide, even in rural or remote areas.

Satellite Offices & Community Partners

We are actively working with partners in:

• Coconino County

• Mohave County

• Yavapai County

These partnerships will allow us to use shared office space, clinics, and community hubs to hold sessions in-person as needed.

Flexible Staff Model

We can quickly hire and assign trained staff to new areas as demand grows. We combine in-person and telehealth services to ensure that no county is left behind.

Mobile Units and Pop-Up Sites

In rural or underserved areas, we’re ready to use mobile service units and pop-up sites in libraries, workforce centers, or churches to deliver services closer to where people live.

Consistency and Quality Guaranteed

No matter where we provide services, every new site will mirror the structure, quality, and support systems of our existing programs in Pima County. This means clients and staff will have the same experience, same forms, same processes, same professional standards— and the same program pricing as listed in our Fee Schedule.

In Summary

CNF already meets the office requirements in Pima County, and we have the people, partnerships, and plans in place to serve more counties as the program expands. Whether it's through brick-and-mortar offices, secure telehealth, or mobile units, we are committed to delivering consistent, high-quality services to clients across the entire state of Arizona.

4. Describe how you will offer statewide telehealth under Section 4. PROGRAM

• Schedule an intake appointment as soon as possible, usually the same or next day

• Complete the intake paperwork and get the person started in the appropriate services, whether that’s in-person or through telehealth

Community Network & Fellowship, Inc. (CNF) provides a structured, trauma-informed, and evidence-based program tailored to meet the needs of justice-involved individuals referred to by the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation & Reentry (ADCRR). Our services focus on accountability, behavior change, and long-term reintegration into society through a combination of individual counseling, group therapy, life-skills development, and ongoing case management.

In addition to meeting the clinical and reporting requirements of the program, CNF is deeply committed to client retention, ongoing support, and sustained recovery. We understand that true rehabilitation is not just about completing a program—it’s about building a foundation for a new way of life. That’s why we prioritize engagement, comprehension, and connection at every stage of the client journey.

Our staff are trained to ensure that participants not only attend sessions but also understand and apply what they’re learning. We take time to build trust and make sure every client feels seen, heard, and accepted. Our program creates a safe, judgment-free space where clients are welcomed as they are and encouraged to redeem themselves and grow into law-abiding citizens with renewed purpose.

We work closely with each client to help them set realistic, achievable goals, and we provide support to help them stay on track—during and after their official programming ends. Our goal is not only to help clients graduate from the program but to walk with them into the next chapters of their lives.

To support this mission, CNF offers:

• Follow-up check-ins and random wellness calls to maintain connection

CNF is not just a program—it is a community of care and accountability, and our commitment to our clients doesn’t end when the program ends. We’re here to ensure they have the tools, encouragement, and relationships they need to thrive long-term.

Our program is designed to serve a diverse population—those facing behavioral health challenges, substance use issues, repeated criminal behavior, and those transitioning back into the community after incarceration.

ADCRR-designated staff will be given secure access to this system within 30 days of contract award.
