Online Training Description:

Individuals convicted of sexual offenses who are mandated to treatment often present with complex clinical, ethical, and motivational challenges. Among the most difficult to engage in meaningful intervention are those who categorically deny their offenses, requiring clinicians to balance accountability with empathy and effective engagement strategies.

The Rockwood Psychotherapy and Consulting Services program in Ontario developed and implemented an evidence-informed model specifically designed to work with this population, supporting personal growth and reducing risk while maintaining a therapeutic focus on change. 

In this training, Dr. Liam Marshall presents the theoretical and practical foundations of the Rockwood program for treating individuals who deny offending. He outlines the key components of the model, discusses characteristics of professionals who are most effective in delivering it, and offers practical strategies for overcoming common barriers to engagement. Participants gain insight into the clinical and ethical complexities inherent in this challenging area of practice.

As a result of this training, participants will be able to:

1) Identify common reasons why people deny crimes that they have, in fact, committed
2) Distinguish between the four qualities of effective professionals who provide treatment to these individuals
3) Explain the factors that increase the risk that a person will be subject to further allegations of abuse
4) Plan and implement treatment exercises that increase the likelihood that the client will more fully participate in treatment
