What is the first phase of the SRG program?

The first phase of the SRG (Serious or Repeat Violent Offender) program is focused on the initial 90 days. During this critical phase, the emphasis is on assessment and stabilization of participants as they begin their engagement with the program. This period is essential for establishing the foundation for rehabilitation efforts, as it allows staff to evaluate the needs of the individuals, understand their behaviors, and create a tailored approach to support their transition.

In this initial phase, participants receive orientation to the program, and staff begins to build rapport with them, which is vital for effective intervention. Activities and services provided during this time are designed to address immediate concerns and set the stage for ongoing development and progress through the subsequent phases of the program.
