Agency Description:
Sharper Future is a Forensic Mental Health Program. The program accepts referrals from the community, but the majority of the clients in the program are referred by the courts, federal probation/pretrial, probation/parole, and private attorneys. Among the many individuals receiving services, a good number are referred for Sharper Future's expertise in working with sex offenders. Sharper Future focuses on the use of empirically based methods of assessment and treatment. Our containment and treatment approach uses techniques that have proven to increase accountability, improve self-control, and reduce criminal behaviors.
Agency Mission:
We at Sharper Future believe that every individual is entitled to live in a safe community. To assist in attaining this goal, we strive to provide Social Rehabilitation and Relapse Prevention services to a diverse population involved in the criminal justice system.
