  • Translating Risk, Need, and Responsivity (RNR) Principles into Supervisory and Clinical Practice (OT296)

    Effectively managing and rehabilitating individuals who have committed serious offenses requires a framework that is both grounded in research and adaptable to diverse professional settings. The Risk-Need-Responsivity (RNR) model has become one of the most influential evidence-based approaches in the field of corrections, providing clear principles to guide assessment, intervention, and supervision.

    Sandy Jung—an accomplished researcher, clinician, and experienced trainer—developed this training to provide professionals with practical methods for using RNR principles in their work with adult individuals convicted of sex offenses. Drawing on her extensive expertise, she offers strategies, tools, and case examples to support effective implementation.

  • Working with Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse: Intersectional Approaches to Healing

    Few experiences fill a person with a greater sense of shame, stigma, and misunderstanding than sexual abuse. Men who have been harmed sexually can become marginalized and isolated, with limited resources available to them or those who support them. This training explores the impact of this harm on men through an intersectional lens, exploring how their unique identities, circumstances, and society's views can either support their recovery or compound their trauma. This training helps participants refine their understanding of the after-effects of abuse on males, which too often persist long after the abuse occurred.

  • Addressing Accountability and Denial in Sex Offense Treatment: Evolving Practices and Practical Frameworks

    Working with clients who deny their past behaviors has long presented dilemmas for practitioners. Requiring full disclosure of past offenses has been a source of recent debate in sex offense treatment, particularly since the late 1990s. Historically, accountability for sexual offending was required as a pre-condition for treatment participation and completion, as well as for successful release from supervision. More recently, however, perspectives have shifted. Research indicating that denial is not a risk factor for future sexual offending, along with concerns for the therapeutic alliance and questions regarding potential violation of the right against self-incrimination, has led clinicians to begin modifying their approach to addressing denial. As a result, many programs no longer require those who offend to be accountable as a precondition of treatment entry or completion.

  • Stress and Motivation in Sexual Abuse Treatment: Insights from the 2025 Survey

    The “Stressors and Motivators Among Professionals Treating Clients Who Have Sexually Abused” survey, conducted by Safer Society Foundation, examines how stressors and motivators shape the professional experiences of those working with individuals with histories of sexual abuse towards others.
