Family reunification

Individuals involved in sexually abusive or compulsive behaviors may be required by an attorney, court or supervision authority, to have an assessment prior to returning to live in a home where there are minors.

Specialized assessments have been developed specifically targeting the identification of the risk to children to meet these needs. The purpose of these assessments is to identify targets of treatment, level of risk to re-offend, and/or outline expectations for conditions of supervision.

When a sexual offense occurs it affects all persons involved in the lives of the abuse survivor and the offender. Following treatment many families of the offenders want to reunite the abuser with the family, yet have children in the home. There are many barriers and many hurdles that the individual and family must complete in order for approved reunification.

During the family reunification process recommendations may be made for further counseling for the abuser and other household members. Each process is handled individually and based upon safety and risk reduction measures. Recommendations for further individual therapy and/or group therapy will be based upon the results of the assessments.

Prior Sex offender treatment is required

Prior to engaging in the Family Reunification Process, you may have a requirement to participate and/or complete Sex Offender Treatment (SOT). Completion of SOT can be completed through Total Wellness 365 or another provider; verification is required.

Participation and Confidentiality notice

If you have a court or supervising authority mandate to participate in the assessment process, your participation may be required by those agencies. Your attendance and participation will be shared with your referral agency (ex. court, parole officer) only when you have given permission to do so. You will be required to sign a release of information for Total Wellness 365 to share details with the court or supervising authority.
