Congratulations Brandon Martinez

The Inyo County Probation Department would like to congratulate, Brandon Martinez, for successfully completing the Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT) program on October 7th.

MRT is a structured, cognitive-behavioral treatment program designed to help people examine their thinking, recognize how their choices affect themselves and others, and develop more responsible decision-making patterns.

MRT is commonly used in correctional, substance-use treatment, probation, and community-based settings. The program typically involves guided group or individual sessions, written exercises, and a series of steps that focus on:

• Taking responsibility for one’s actions
• Identifying unhealthy thinking patterns
• Improving honesty, accountability, and problem-solving
• Developing empathy and stronger relationships
• Setting goals and making constructive choices
• Building a more positive and responsible lifestyle

The term “reconation” refers to changing the way a person makes decisions and acts on those decisions. MRT is not a medical treatment or medication; it is a behavioral program that is usually facilitated by a trained counselor or program provider.

Also pictured are Deputy Probation Officer, Amanda Wagner, and Probation Specialist, Lora Terrasas two of The Probation Department’s MRT trained facilitators.
