D&D Success Story - June 30

30-Jun-2021

We recently had a male who was referred to our Behavioural Assessment Unit (BAU).

He was a high-risk violent offender until a BAU detective and external therapist worked with him. The male started to recognize his patterns of behaviour and substance abuse as issues he could manage and ultimately control. Through hard work, he gained employment and a stable home. His improvements led to reconnections with his brother, and ultimately the rest of his family. He rebuilt his emotional family supports and moved back with his mother to further evolve his new, positive life.
