Offender Mentor Certification Program (OMCP)

Options played a lead role in developing and implementing California’s first in-custody counselor training program. We believe this was the first-ever program of its kind in the nation working to prepare adults in custody to become certified by the state-recognized organization. The 2006 pilot program served as the model for the offender mentor certification program.

In addition to providing in-custody counselor training, options understands the value of assistance and support upon release. To help candidates successfully re-enter the community, options arranged for post release assistance: to pick them up at the gate, provide wrap around support and services, housing, and to connect graduates with internships at substance abuse treatment centers throughout California.
