What a week! Still reeling from one event, that surpassed ANY and MANY business opportunities presented. In an attempt to mentor, and model with one of our new substance abuse and mental health licensees~ now providing services at Community Advocates, met one of the participants from my first consulting job 30+ years ago with , goal being to teach the connection between medicine, food, health information (now called wellness-lol) at what would become MLK Heritage Health Center. 'Community Cultural Rounds' connected medical students from Medical College of Wisconsin with the communities they serve in THEIR setting. One of the attendees was a speaker at this event and now Chief Medical Officer of Population Health & Medical Education Medical College of Wisconsin who ACTUALLY REMEMBERED THE EXPERIENCE. So /I Thank YOU Mosley for the reminder-long buried, forgotten in my CV. #360.

LEARN-WORK-LIVE-GROW. Find a Job? Start your own Business? The mission and vision of TransformationServices, Inc 📷 (TSI) is to provide Substance Abuse Treatment and Training in a cognitive behaviorally based model. The program focuses on an Incapacitated Workforce: unemployed, to underemployed, and ex-offenders. Alcohol and drug problems disproportionately affect those in urban communities. Our primary goal is to offer quality health care and in doing so increase the number of minority providers in mental health and substance abuse. TSI has been in business for 13 successful years.
Our Day Into Night Cognitive Behavioral Treatment Program is unique because it was not only developed by professionals, but by those in recovery, as well. The name also reflects the hours (9AM-9PM) of our services that are available to clients. Its focus is skill development as well as therapeutic support, and is similar to the accepted international model. Our parent organization won a competitive grant that became TransformationServices proving tutoring, training materials, testing, and licensing costs. We then developed a training curriculum 360 Circle of Support™ to assist the disenfranchised achieve the status of Substance Abuse Counselor-in Training (SACIT). Most of our clientele are “professionals to be” they support our basic Peer to Peer model and concept of "hands on teaching model". Traditional teaching methods have largely failed with this population, and TSI believes this approach will be successful. Perhaps the most cutting edge aspect of our model is our ability to offer the client training almost immediately after completing their treatment without the 'accepted' wait period of up to 2 years. Though referral for training is, individualized and experience based, we have found that there is little data to support a 'wait period' making the counselor any less prone to relapse. This notion is also consistent with the true 'peer to peer’ model. The client’s experiences and services receive support from our Peer Specialists-those who are graduates of the program (many who are in recovery, or have mental illness themselves). Active in social media our company’s future services include on-line psychotherapy/support (ImailTM) for offenders that are incarcerated, and for our EAP contracts below.
TSI has been in business for 13 years, we hire our students, and/or provide on-site job referrals. We function as a consortium; our therapists have a wide range of expertise and backgrounds. All of our ‘360’ services are available year-round, and 24 hours a day and on-line. One of our strengths-currently we are the only community program to do so, and offer support before and after training.
State qualified personnel provide low cost and community-oriented Introductory Education (100/40/360/30 hours) for the Jurisprudence Test needed not only for SACIT, but for Prevention Specialists in-Training (PSIT), Clinical/Substance Abuse Counselor(C/SAC), Intermediate Clinical Supervisor (IMCS), Independent Clinical Supervisor (ICS), and Licensed Professional Counselor/in Training (LPC-IT/LPC) all approved by the Wisconsin Department of Safety and Professional Services.
TransformationServices(TSI)also accepts job-related tuition reimbursement and, depending on your current employment status, you may be eligible for state FSET/ Workforce Investment Act (WIOA), Department of Vocational Rehabilitation(DVR) funding; this may cover the tuition and materials for the course. We also accept the GI Bill and the (MyCAA) for veterans’ spouses. Call or email for program information format, cost etc.
In general, we accommodate most schedules, but also offer Winter/Spring, Summer, and Fall/Winter semesters (either distance or in-person). This is consistent with other academic programs that the student may be enrolled. Our AODA training program is personalized, cost/time efficient, and offers a gateway into the mental health care profession, or it may accentuate the credential a license holder may already have.
TransformationServices feels that we have developed not only a unique treatment approach, but a training opportunity for a common problem that many disenfranchised face-remaining clean and sober, recovering from trauma while maintaining/retaining gainful employment. TransformationServices gives those that need and want it a chance to make a positive life change in not only their lives, but in the lives of their family and community. Our facility GreenCircle offers a growing environment that also supports a Social Entrepreneurship Incubator for Professionals and Professionals to Be. Since 1995, the Healing Garden component of our treatment program has had an outdoor alternative, allowing clients to learn and practice effective stress management techniques. A walking track offers a naturalistic location for therapy and a calm oasis in a busy urban locale-developing effective wellness strategies that until now for the client have been self-destructive choices (alcohol, drugs, ci******es, food etc). We now offer the Healing Garden for staff and students-which develop resilience.
TSI works collaboratively with other organizations based on our history, success of our program, and the population we serve. Last, we offer EAP services through a number of employers (Kohls, IRS, Whole Foods), and Insurers (FEI, Managed Health Network, & Miners). Health care is a growth industry. The opening salvo might be “What Happened to You”, but that should to be followed with “How Can I Help You? For Individuals, Businesses, Community, and Government, TSI IS a model for Changing Lives, Changing Communities, and Now Changing Health Care. Social Entrepreneurship is the cornerstone of our business.
