Our wide range of psycho-educational courses are designed to educate and empower individuals to change their behaviour, at the early intervention stage. This ranges from addressing inappropriate behaviours, fraud related crimes, through to domestic abuse.
The term ‘Out of Court Resolutions’ (OOCR) refers to a range of options available to the Police to use as an alternative to a prosecution, for less serious and often first-time offences. RISE offer multiple courses as an OOCR; they provide swift and meaningful justice for victims, hold offenders accountable for their actions and reduce re-offending.
In order to be eligible, offenders must admit the behaviour took place, although some level of denial and resistance is expected.
Our OOCR interventions are based on several approaches and theories, including a Strengths Based approach, Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT), which provides a framework for how beliefs and attitudes affect thinking, feeling and behaviour, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and course-specific theories, including Strain Theory, Social Learning, and Feminist Theory. Other external factors (such as alcohol use) are also considered.
RISE deliver 3 commissioned courses, which are designed to take place over multiple days. Our other OOCR courses are short (2-3 hours), which allow them to be self-funded.
Commissioned OOCR
Due to the length of the courses, and the likelihood of further impact on families or young people if self-funded, the courses below are currently commissioned, and not available as a self-funded option.
Chance to Change
RISE, Step Together & The Nelsons Trust have partnered to deliver Chance to Change to those age 18-24, with a focus on care leavers, neurodivergence & those overrepresented in the CJS.
