Workshops and Special Events

Crisci & Mayer is pleased to bring you the following conference presenters in 2009:

Anna Salter, Ph.D.

What Every Victim Treatment Provider Needs to Know About Offender Thinking and Risk

This workshop will address common ways offenders confuse, trick and manipulate victims, and the implications on treating victims who struggle with issues of responsibility and reporting.
 
Questions about risk to children concern everybody. Is a sex offender ever safe, and in which particular situations? When should offenders be allowed to remain in a home with children? Should accused sex offenders be allowed to return to work? These questions affect treatment planning for the victim, as service providers strive to provide what is in everyone’s best interest. Understanding offender thinking allows professionals involved to more accurately determine what is in the best interest of the victim, and therefore provide more effective interventions.
