Intervention

At the core of all forensic treatment is helping people understand themselves and their own behaviour. This may be complicated by the multifaceted set of personal, familial, social, health and mental health issues many clients experience.

Self harm and suicide risk.
Behaviours of concern.
Treatment readiness.
Sexual / violent offender rehabilitation.
Drug and alcohol addiction.
Social, cognitive and life skills.
Self regulation.
Developmental and other trauma.
Enhanced relationships.
Release preparation and transition.

Fearless and Free

Fearless and Free is a short therapeutic program for young people new to the criminal justice system.

This program is designed to divert young people away from further problem behaviour through the provision of timely support that boosts insight, nurtures skills and shapes support so that every young person can live a life that is fearless and free.

The program consists of 6 x 1-hour sessions delivered via Zoom on a weekly or fortnightly basis. A specialist practitioner is matched to each young person to deliver a semi-structured program that is evidence-based, engaging and adapted to each young person.

Fearless and Free is suitable for low-risk young people with a problem behaviour such as anger, interpersonal aggression, unhealthy relationships, sexualised behaviours, or similar.

The six-session program includes:

1

Me

My strengths, interests, identity and goals.

2

My Story

Understanding what brought me here.

3

My Emotions and Thoughts

Making sense of what I think and feel.

4

My Values

Connecting with what is most important to me.

5

My Choices

Making value-based choices.

6

My Supports

Leaning in to accountability and support.

Many of SALTIE clients experience a complex array of life issues. Supporting the team who support the individual is an important part of our contribution. SALTIE is known for its collegiate, respectful and non-elitist approach to other professionals and the families of forensic clients.

Our psychologists focus intervention not just on responding to risk, but also on building future focused healthy lifestyles: one that includes personal pillars of success. That may involve finding work, pursuing interests, re-connecting with the community or finding freedom from emotional unrest.
