Matrix stresses interpersonal communication skills development and confronts thought patterns that can lead to problematic behaviors.

The program has three components:

1. cognitive self-change
2. social skills
3. problem-solving skills

Lessons on cognitive self-change provide participants with a thorough process for self-reflection concentrated on uncovering antisocial thoughts, feelings, attitudes, and beliefs. Social skills lessons prepare participants to engage in prosocial interactions based on self-understanding and awareness of the impact that their actions may have on others. Finally, problem-solving skills integrate the two other components and provide participants with a step-by-step process to address challenges and stressful situations they may encounter.
