Sex offender program
Scion Counseling offers a CASOMB (California Sex Offender Management Board) certified program for low-risk sex offenders that lasts one year in duration. It should be noted that this program may vary person to person based on individual need and risk assessment.
Population
Not all sex offenders are appropriate for our program. Most of our clients are between 18-24, although we do treat clients that are outside of that age range (both older and younger). Since this is our target age range, we are incorporating elements of both adolescent and adult approaches.
Evidence Based Treatment
All of the theory used in this curriculum is evidence based as has shown to be effective in treating sex offenders. Primarily, our treatment program is based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) but also draws from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Transtheoretical Model (Stages of Change), Good Lives (GLM), and Risk-Needs-Responsivity (RNR). CBT, RNR and GLM have all been shown to be effective and are accepted as best practice for sex offenders (Schaffer, et al., 2010).
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is based on several core principles, including:
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is an adaption of CBT that is tailored to address both affective disturbance or coping deficits as well as interpersonal effectiveness, which can lead to increased sense of intimacy.
Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR)
Briefly, the three core principles can be stated as follows: Risk principle: Match the level of service to the offender’s risk to re-offend. Need principle: Assess criminogenic needs and target them in treatment. Responsivity principle: Maximize the offender’s ability to learn from a rehabilitative intervention by providing cognitive behavioral treatment and tailoring the intervention to the learning style, motivation, abilities and strengths of the offender.

Good Lives Model (GLM)
The Good Lives Model (GLM)is a strengths-based rehabilitation theory that augments the risk, need, and responsivity principles of effective correctional intervention through its focus on assisting clients to develop and implement meaningful life plans that are incompatible with future offending.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is based on several core principles, including:
- Psychological problems are based, in part, on faulty or unhelpful ways of thinking.
- Psychological problems are based, in part, on learned patterns of unhelpful behavior.
- People suffering from psychological problems can learn better ways of coping with them, thereby relieving their symptoms and becoming more effective in their lives.
