How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Cognitive Behavioral Interventionmethodology: cognitive_behavioral_interventionBy using cognitive behavioral techniques to build self-awareness and personal responsibility, we reduce recidivism because participants develop the internal skills necessary to change harmful behaviors and make prosocial choices.
- Integrated Justice-Treatment Modelmethodology: integrated_justice_treatmentBy integrating criminal justice and substance abuse treatment systems through coordinated case management and evidence-based practices, we produce safer communities and reduced recidivism because aligned accountability and treatment address root causes of reoffending.
- Risk-Needs-Responsivity Frameworkmethodology: risk_needs_responsivityBy assessing individual risk and needs and tailoring interventions accordingly, we reduce recidivism because targeted, responsivity-appropriate services increase engagement and effectiveness for high-risk, high-need populations.
- Wraparound Case Managementmethodology: wraparound_case_managementBy providing individualized, wraparound services and specialized case management, we improve outcomes for justice-involved individuals because holistic support helps them navigate fragmented systems and overcome complex barriers to treatment and compliance.
