Prior to beginning TSAB each individual must have a completed assessment, and individualized treatment goals. Each participant will be encouraged to actively develop a deeper understanding of their own choices and develop a plan for success to reduce the risk of reoffense. The success plan will feature coping strategies related to new healthy thinking patterns, emotional regulation, and skills for developing or maintaining healthy relationships.

Total Wellness 365 is responsive to the needs of our referral stakeholders, and offer several levels of treatment.

COMPREHENSIVE — The focus of the group is to identify the triggers leading to the abusive behavior(s), the influence of poor emotional control, the risky thinking that continued the risk behavior(s). Each group cohort will follow the same structure. Below are the objectives that will be met during participation in group: Participant will comprehend patterns of sexually abusive behaviors and identify personal high risk situations; Participant will verbalize understanding of thinking errors and their relationship to abusive behaviors; Participant will incorporate and build healthy support systems that will augment his supervision and community transition; Participant will develop an individualized success plan to decrease the likelihood of repeating abusive patterns and increase a prosocial lifestyle.

AFTERCARE — In order to maintain the skills learned in comprehensive treatment, it’s important to continually practice and review the skills learned. In either a group or individual therapy format, the focus is on the maintenance and practice of skills learned by applying the skills to everyday and new risk situations. Verification of completion of comprehensive treatment is required prior to participation in aftercare.

BRIEF INTERVENTION — Lapse behaviors related to sexually abusive patterns or violations of conditions of supervision (e.g. associated with sexually abusive behaviors) are targeted through a review of skills and knowledge learned in prior treatment or a brief introduction to basic skills to prevent lapse/relapse behaviors. Usually offered in a group setting this intervention does not require prior completion of comprehensive TSAB to participate. Contact the office for more information.

Pre-sentence evaluations provide courts with clinical information that informs sentencing decisions in cases involving sexual offenses. These evaluations typically include comprehensive clinical interviews, review of incident reports and case discovery, administration of validated risk assessment instruments, and psychosexual history when appropriate. The report addresses risk level, amenability to treatment, and recommendations relevant to sentencing, supervision conditions, and treatment planning.

Evaluations are conducted at the request of defense counsel, prosecutors, or the court, and are prepared to withstand scrutiny in legal proceedings.

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 minors are present. The purpose of specialized assessments is to identify targets of treatment, level of risk to re-offend, and/or outline expectations for conditions of supervision.

Individuals petitioning the court for removal from the sex offender registry, or for reclassification to a lower tier, often require a current clinical risk assessment as part of their petition. These evaluations assess present-day risk of reoffense using validated, empirically supported instruments, along with a review of treatment history, compliance record, and relevant life changes since the original conviction.

The resulting report is written for submission to the court and addresses current risk level and any factors relevant to the petitioner’s request. Evaluations can be requested by the petitioner’s attorney or ordered by the court.
