Our work in the Community
Why work with Offenders?
People who have committed violent crimes and exhibited anti social behaviour are, whether we like it or not, still part of our community. Very few people stay in prison permanently.
Taking responsibility for one's actions is not necessarily something that people learn by going to prison - however, it is a vital aspect of our program.
When a person comes out of prison there is no guarantee of their rehabilitation - they have simply been punished; so one of the concepts of the program - goal setting and changing behaviours to get different outcomes - deals with these issues.
The program raises concepts that are vital to reintegration into the community, such as encouraging empathy for victims, encouraging personal initiative and individual goal setting.
Enough Is Enough has received a huge amount of positive feedback about this award winning program, from both victims and offenders.

Find out how to protect yourself and your family. |
Stress and Anger Management Course |
|
At times the way we respond when we are stressed/angry/upset/frustrated is not always as would we like. This could be because we either do not give ourselves time to think before we react or we do not know how to stop, stay calm and remain in control. We automatically become defensive which can lead to disastrous results. With our Stress/Anger Management course you will have the opportunity to develop new skills in the delivery of your responses. You will be shown new ways of working through the battlefield of emotions and understand communication in many types of relationships, eg. work, home, friends, families and how to communicate with those people who 'just tick us off' for what appears to be no reason at all.
