Helping Justice-Involved Clients Build Relationship Skills

Reentering society after incarceration is a complex process, particularly for justice-involved individuals with histories of sexual offending, intimate partner violence, or other behaviors that place them at risk of perpetrating harm.

Grounded in relational, trauma-informed, and accountability-centered frameworks, this training offers participants a compassionate approach to working with justice-involved clients and the crucial skills that help prevent further harmful behavior.

Through a blend of psychoeducation, interactive discussion, and hands-on skill-building, participants learn how to accompany clients in an exploration of boundary setting, consent, attachment dynamics, shame resilience, and the impact of social stigma on relational development. Special attention is given to navigating dating, disclosure, and emotional vulnerability in ways that prioritize both client safety and community responsibility.

Living with Children Evaluations: Assessing Whether Adults with Sexual-Offense Histories Can Safely Live with Children

As with many areas of forensic psychology and the law, living with children (LWC) evaluations pose unique challenges. Whatever their personal viewpoints regarding policy and legislation, evaluators must conform their work product to meet the requirements of the legal systems in which they operate. In conducting these assessments, evaluators must balance best practices in sexual offense risk assessments and modern research on this population with answering the specific questions required by the legal system.

Typically, a forensic evaluator comments on the risk of sexual re-offense by an individual who committed a sexual offense in broad, hypothetical contexts. In LWC evaluations, however, the evaluator must consider the examinee’s risk to a specific child. The specificity of the potential victim adds unique elements, such as potential vulnerabilities for victimization and the non-offending caregiver’s attributes and abilities.

In this training, Dr. Zachary Yeoman examines numerous aspects of LWC evaluations. He provides an overview of the legal contexts in which evaluators operate, helping them navigate areas where psychological science and the law may conflict.
