SOTP Certification Training ScheduleCourse Overview / Objectives
Purpose This training program is based upon the National Institute of Corrections training program entitled “Sex Offender Treatment Skills for Correctional Professionals” from U.S. Department of Justice. IBTSA adapted this program for sex offender treatment providers in Iowa. This training program is intended to provide information on evidenced based practices to establish a basic set of competencies for professional certification in the provision of services to sexual abusers. The overall goal of this program is to prevent sexual abuse by providing training and education, with a core focus on victims, so that high quality services can be provided to sexual abusers. McGrath and Cumming (2004) indicate that sex offender service provision is not linear. Instead, services are better viewed as interrelated with one area having the ability to impact any or all other areas. Therefore, even though the training will be presented in a linear fashion focusing on Victim Impact, Sex Offender Characteristics, Assessment, Treatment, and Supervision, these areas will be integrated so that the participant has a “big picture” concept of sexual abusers, while also focusing the underlying details. It is important to note that although this training addresses many of the key areas in sex offender service provision, it is only an overview. More in-depth training is recommended as one continues to gain experience in working with people who have committed sexual offenses. Benefits An academic degree in behavioral or medical science does not necessarily guarantee sufficient training or competency in psychotherapy, counseling, or assessment of sexual deviancy, recidivism risk or sex offending issues. The establishment of basic competencies in sexual abuser service provision and a system of voluntary professional certification, assures the opportunity for continued growth and development in sexual abuse service provision. This certification effort benefits:
