Offense Specific Treatment

The operant philosophy of offense-specific treatment throughout our continuum, Good Lives is based on the belief that juveniles need to build capabilities and strengths to reduce their sexually offending needs.

This six week course is for teens engaged in compulsive and problematic pornography use.  Parents and/or guardians are required to attend the last two sessions of each group cycle.

This is provided for parents, guardians, caregivers and other adults who are responsible for supervising juveniles who have engaged in sexually abusive behavior. The time required for informed supervision training is determined by a number of variables (i.e. the number of class participants, complexity of issues presented) but is usually accomplished in three hours for small groups and eight hours for larger groups. Informed supervision training is conducted in accordance with the Juvenile Standards established by the Colorado Sex Offender Management Board.

This is a structured, intensive, sex-offense specific group therapy process emphasizing the initial stages of the offender cycle.  The group curriculum emphasizes skills such as understanding sexual triggers, breaking mechanisms and the integration of safe boundaries.  Family and support system participation is required to complete this 18 month (on average) group process.

This is a twelve week process group where juveniles are challenged to apply what they have learned in treatment in a real-world context. Participants learn to safely integrate their offender identity and to utilize their treatment contracts with greater personal accountability.

Group sessions consist of up to five weekly activities designed to facilitate improved understanding of safe play, body awareness and a developmentally appropriate understanding of healthy sexuality.

This six week course emphasizes the integration of a safe sexual identity to protect against future inappropriate, harmful, and/or illegal sexual activity.

All psychosexual evaluations are conducted in accordance with the Juvenile Standards established by the Colorado Sex Offender Management Board.

Offered on an individual or group basis, this psychoeducational process provides youth with a platform to explore the full legal, social, and personal consequences of sexting and other forms of sexualized electronic communication.

Representatives from the former victim’s support system work in coordination with the juvenile offender’s treatment team to assure a safe and orderly resolution to these stages of treatment.

This two to six week peer-supported group is designed to intervene with youth who have broken elements of their treatment contract but have not yet returned to sexually perpetrative behavior. Firm accountability and containment on all levels is stressed with the goal of returning the youth to normative functioning.

These panels provide a measure of restorative justice as the offender addresses the reality that his harmful behavior has ramifications in the larger community.
