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. By aligning service intensity with risk level, addressing criminogenic needs, and tailoring interventions to individual learning styles, RNR provides a proven foundation for achieving meaningful rehabilitation outcomes. For professionals engaged in clinical work and supervisory roles, understanding and applying its principles is essential to ensuring interventions are both effective and ethically sound.

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 sexual offenses. Drawing on her extensive expertise, she offers strategies, tools, and case examples to support effective implementation.

This training begins with an overview of the history of the RNR model and the science supporting its effectiveness, followed by a detailed exploration of how the principles can be effectively implemented in practice. Participants discover what successful implementation looks like and gain insight into common challenges that may arise. Throughout the training, the focus remains on providing actionable tools for applying RNR in both clinical interventions and supervisory contexts, helping professionals improve outcomes for the individuals they serve.
