GG7 Understanding Yourself

This is the “risk factors” approach to aggression and violence. It provides an alternative approach to violence issues and behavior, addressing community and family risk factors for violence.

For clients, the objective is to begin by increasing awareness. Then, clients can admit that they have these risk factors and acknowledge that these risks and temptations will be out there, waiting, upon release. “If you plan for them, and develop options for how you will handle them better, you stand a good chance.”
