Here is what the SBC does now • We see anyone, from anywhere, without delay. • We do complete assessments. • We start treatment immediately. • We insist harm to children stops immediately (we do not “taper”). • We lead by example.
We lead by example. • We are lawful. • We are honest. • We are respectful. • We do not work alone. • We deliver what we promise. • We are optimistic and insist on success. • We do not do anything without consent. • We admit we can be wrong and fix mistakes.
So that’s it? ! A single victim is at least two too many. A single offense affects: The victim The victim’s family The offender’s family The community
