Youth Needs and Progress Scale with Dr. Righthand

  • 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
  • via Zoom Conference
Registration is closed

Do we really need another risk and needs assessment scale?

Assessing progress when youth have sexually offended. 

The Youth Needs and Progress Scale (YNPS) is a new assessment measure that is designed to help mental health, correctional, and child welfare professionals identify risk-relevant intervention needs among individuals aged 12 to 25 who have engaged in problematic, abusive, or otherwise illegal sexual behavior. All YNPS items are dynamic and, as such, can be reassessed to track progress toward resolving intervention needs over time.

The primary focus of this presentation is to assist participants in becoming more aware of:

  • Risk prediction problems and the need for a paradigm shift,
  • The importance of identifying dynamic intervention needs and progress toward resolving those needs,
  • The development, implementation, and testing of a developmentally appropriate assessment measures for identifying relevant intervention targets, creating and delivering appropriate case plans, and evaluating client progress, i.e., the Youth Needs and Progress Scale.

Best Practices in the Treatment and Supervision of Sexual Offending

This session will review what we know about what works and what doesn’t in the treatment, supervision, and management of men who have committed sexual offenses.

How to Score and Use the

Sex Offender Treatment Intervention and Progress Scale (SOTIPS)

This workshop uses case studies to learn how to score and use the SOTIPS. The SOTIPS is a 16-item, provider-administered, dynamic measure designed to aid clinicians and probation and parole officers in assessing risk, treatment and supervision needs, and progress among adult males who have been convicted of committing a sexual offense. 

Making Child Contact Decisions Using the ROSAC 

Mental health, probation and parole, corrections, and child protective services professionals are commonly asked to assess the risk a sexual abuser poses to a particular child and under what circumstances, if any, the abuser might safely be allowed contact with the child. The Risk of Sexual Abuse of Children (ROSAC) uses a Structured Professional Judgment model for conducting these types of risk of sexual harm assessments.
