The General Offender Program (GOP) helps participants reintegrate into society through structured rehabilitation.
It draws on social learning and cognitive-behavioural therapy with strengths-based and trauma-informed practices.
This program is open to moderate-risk men over 18 including those on community-based orders, parole, or suspended sentences.
GOP is held over 3 months, twice weekly, with 8 to 12 participants. It is broken up into the following 5 parts:
- cultural maintenance
- life story exploration,
- understanding the offence cycle
- building connections
- planning for the future.
