At The Bravery Initiative, our evaluation services form the cornerstone of effective, individualized treatment planning and community safety. We specialize in post-sentence domestic violence evaluations, pre-plea and post-sentence sexual offense-specific assessments, child contact screens, and mental health evaluations tailored for LGBTQIA individuals, women, and men. Our approach is firmly grounded in evidence-based practices, culturally responsive care, and trauma-informed principles, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the process.
Our evaluations align with the standards set forth by the Sex Offender Management Board (SOMB) and the Domestic Violence Offender Management Board (DVOMB), facilitating compliance and supporting collaborative supervision efforts. We utilize comprehensive risk assessments, including but not limited to SOTIPS, Static-99R, Stable-2007, VASOR, and CPORT, alongside mental health, trauma, substance use, and technology risk screenings to provide a holistic understanding of each client’s needs.
The evaluation process begins with a thorough intake that integrates collateral information from probation, parole, court records, and victim input where appropriate. This informs initial treatment recommendations based on offense characteristics and risk levels. Our ongoing evaluation framework includes regular treatment plan reviews, polygraph oversight as per SOMB guidelines, monthly multidisciplinary team staffing, and quarterly re-assessments to ensure continuous monitoring and intervention adjustment.
Our SOMB-aligned psychosexual and risk assessments employ validated instruments and standardized protocols to evaluate sexual offense risk dynamically. We address cognitive distortions, offense patterns, victim impact, and relapse prevention with qualified clinicians dedicated to integrating assessment findings into effective treatment and supervision plans.
For domestic violence cases, our DVOMB-aligned assessments focus on criminogenic needs such as antisocial attitudes, emotional regulation, relationship skills, substance use, and trauma history. Our tailored approach considers client readiness for change, cultural identity, and trauma backgrounds to optimize intervention responsivity.
At The Bravery Initiative, our commitment is to provide thorough, evidence-based evaluations that support safety, accountability, and healing within the community. Let us partner with you to ensure informed decision-making and effective risk management in every case.
