RESPONSIBLE CHOICES focuses on positive ways of living and self-esteem building. Participants have a REAL opportunity to: openly examine the facts; take ownership of unhealthy choices; understand the consequences of unhealthy choices; understand the recovery process from these unhealthy choices; practice and rehearse new healthy choices; start making healthier decisions with less negative consequences through treatment, goal setting, relapse prevention planning, aftercare support planning, self-help programs, and counseling.

A Psychological Evaluation may be required before an Initial Evaluation can be finalized. When there is legal or probation matters to consider, DH&A often recommends to the Court an Alternative Diversion Sentencing Proposal or an Alternative Diversion Sentencing Proposal prepared on behalf of the offender for the Court’s consideration. Offenders are often referred to my office by the Court, CPS, their attorney, insurance company, school, and parents. The offender generally admits some responsibility for the offense, and admits the need for help with the problem of theft and dishonesty. Some offenders or their parents contact my office before any or during a series of court hearings in an effort to address the shoplifting behavior or other forms of theft, and request a Mental Health and/or a Chemical Dependency Evaluation. Generally they keep appointments, complete all required enrollment information, are evaluated by a professional, and assigned a Treatment or Recovery plan. During the Evaluation the offender is encouraged to share the difficulty they have understanding why they would shoplift or steal what is not theirs. The offender will generally report that their compulsive shoplifting or other theft behaviors began small and increased in seriousness over time. For example, one may explain that when the self-scanning systems were place in Kroger Stores they began not scanning all items and the problem evolved since that time. The offender generally demonstrates a clear understanding of their present legal problem, and the direct relationship to their defective thinking (“free is better”, “they want know’, “they want miss it”, and poor judgment, poor insight specific to their shoplifting behavior). The offender generally expresses a willingness to attend and participate openly in our Defective Thinking Treatment and Recovery Program at Dave Harmon & Associates, Inc. to address the admitted inappropriate and illegal shoplifting and other theft behaviors. Voluntary and Court-ordered participants usually come as a result of encouragement from family, or friends, the Court, CPS, Probation/Parole office, Parole Boards, Attorneys, individuals, and Parents as part of a voluntary plan or an sentencing proposal: 1) Pre-Sentencing Proposal; 2) Court Alternative Diversion Proposal; 3) Court Alternative Sentencing Proposal; or 4) Shock Probation Proposal. Participation in the RESPONSIBLE CHOICES PROGRAM involves the completion of written assignment, giving and receiving feedback, learning new and healthier ways to perceive and respond to others, the community and yourself, and developing self-respect.

Participants are required to complete written assignments and bring assignments to sessions to discuss. Often, participation in the RESPONSIBLE CHOICES PROGRAM may mean your being able to remain in your home, on your job, in your school, AND in the community, thereby avoiding major consequences or incarceration so long as one continues following a treatment plan, avoids inappropriate theft activity, deception, or dishonesty, or doing anything else that might cause one to be incarcerated in a correctional facility or violated while on some form of supervision or probation.
