Drama to Confront Offending Behaviour
Drama to Confront Offending Behaviour teaches simple group work & drama techniques to challenge the habitual thoughts & thinking disorders that offenders use to excuse & justify their behaviour. Drama, as an engaging active process, is ideal for working with offenders with limited verbal or literacy skills who may switch off in more traditional “flip chart based” courses. In exploring the consequences of offending, ideas around skills & self esteem & presenting the risks of change involved in a positive & challenging way, the course works with staff to challenge clients into realistically exploring new responses & thinking patterns to old problems. The course can be modified to be suited to the needs of staff working with particular offender group types.
