The Integrity Curriculum
The Integrity Curriculum is a combination of 5 courses from Living Free
(Turning Point) publications and 3 from
Family Integrity Training. The literature
provides structure for six focus areas:
(1) Parenting, (2) Personal Integrity,
(3) Desicion Making, (4) Anger
Management, (5) Relationsips, and
(6) Economics. These materials help
leaders to facilitate small-group sessions where participant solve thier own
problems using group support. Each
structured lesson is self-contained and
builds on previous lessons. Where possible, each participant is given his/her
own book to write in and prepare for the
next disscussion. A separate facilitator
guide is available for each of the eight
books. Testimonies are available online
at www.100hour.org/newsletter.

What is Family
Integrity Training
(FIT)?
FIT is a 501(c)3 faithbased corporation whose
goal is to enrich and
facilitate successful living.
FIT reaches beyond
church denominations
to provide excellent lifeskills training to clients
across traditional religious
barriers.
FIT assists at-risk
populations in transitioning back into successful
living. The FIT program
targets those currently
in or transitioning from
prisons, jails, half-way
houses, or destructive
life experiences. FIT
accomplishes this through
mentoring, specialized
course materials, and a
group format that empowers clients to rise above
their personal struggles
and live life more
successfully.
So what does FIT do to
accomplish these goals?
Some FIT statistics:
• 5,200 course graduates
• 81,000 recorded contact
hours
• 18 prisons
• 16 half-way houses
• 5 jails
• 3 churches, 2 community
centers
• graduates 64% male,
36% female
TRAINS facilitators to effectively
use FIT materials.

for each graduate of each completed course.

the program is all about!
So why faith-based?
Although the FIT curriculum
is based on tested psychological and social theories,
adding the element of spirituality acts as a re-enforcer
to the course materials. This
is something that can often
make a difference in whether
or not a client “sticks with”
what they learned in the
courses.
