Pathways & North Star

Both are clear, simple, and concise interactive studies for those who are willing to step into personal transformation. The difference between the two studies is that Pathways was created for individuals convicted of PC 290 related offenses. The curriculum is specific with case studies and assignments for sexual addiction and offending. North Star addresses criminal addiction and behavior.

Apex Transcript and/or Comprehensive Risk Assessment Review

A review of these documents by our staff can assist an individual in gaining insight into their presentation at his/her last BPH hearing or Psychological Evaluation. These documents are thoroughly critiqued by our counselors and returned to the individual. Many times having an outside perspective has shed light toward a new understanding that has led to a suitable finding for the individual.

Document Distribution

Upon completion, the Letter of Completion, Certificate of Completion, and Grade Report can be dispersed to the Board of Parole Hearings, Correctional Counselor, or other receiving party. The original documents sent to the participant are free of charge.  If this service is ordered, a second or third letter and certificate will be created and sent to the desired party(ies). If a request is made to email the documents to a BPH attorney, no charge will be assessed.

Sharpening personal awareness and intentionality;

*Disclaimer

Ultimately, being found suitable at the BPH is up to the individual. There is no amount of work that anyone else can do that will guarantee a finding of suitability. We do our best to prepare each person for their opportunity; there are no guarantees. It is in the best interest of the individual to do everything they can to be prepared. It is our position to assist them down that path.
