The focus module is a progressive course, starting with a look at individuals’ beliefs and how they affect their behaviour, addressing individuals’ comfort walls and motivations that have manifested in the (criminal) choices made in the past.  By helping participants to understand how they regulate their behaviour according to their beliefs gives a starting point for each individual to consider where they came from and work on to decide where they are going.

The course consists of 16 two hour sessions that explore the following areas:

Knowing yourself - Aims of the course.  Questionnaire about Focus.
