While education is the key to changing attitudes toward animal violence, legislation is the only real way to ensure that everyone is accountable for the animals he or she have. Up to now, animals had no rights. That is no longer the case. Animal cruelty and abuse laws are recorded as “morality laws” to keep people on the straight and narrow. Animal advocates have battled to show legislators and voters alike the need for stricter abuse laws. Fortunately, we are now protecting animals. There are scientific studies that prove the link between animal abuse, spousal and child abuse, murder and other violent crimes and even serial killers.

Across the United States, there are laws prohibiting cruelty to animals. These laws are to protect the right of animals. The purpose laws deter violence committed by humans as well as protecting animals from mistreatment and cruelty by imposing a penalty for those acts.

John Lennon wrote a song by the title of “Imagine.” He sings of a world of neither war nor hunger. Often when hearing the lyrics, it makes one think of all the creatures in the world, “Imagine all the animals gone.” What would the world be without animals? Imagine all the animals GONE. What would the earth would we have? Well, we could not begin to imagine because we would not exist. The world would be a desolate planet, no clouds, unpredictable weather, and unbearable heat. In other words, man would not and could not exist. Of all the beautiful creatures on planet earth, domesticated dogs, horses, and cats have been the most favored and praised by man for thousands of years. These most beautiful creatures are creatures we depend on to exist, and we abused in many ways.

Progressing through this program will begin to clarify what we are providing is a concrete structure to support an individual decision-making skill. We know the decision to stop is the individual. It is essential to understand that only we can set our future goals. The facts, along with the focus of H.E.L.P., will provide the structure necessary for that change. As one moves through the program, they will address many factors that lead one to abuse or neglect any human being or animal.

Clients complete the HELP education and evaluation manual. Also, answer questions, along with numerous written exercises and offense-specific tests. Tests are required to evaluate the comprehension and understanding of the material. The results allow us to form a character profile and risk assessment of the offender. Also, the collective information during counseling becomes a reference to evaluate truthfulness.

The HELP manual provides an understanding of the offender’s actions, how it affects their lives, the community, and more importantly, their loved ones. It teaches the law and its consequences, how much they risk, and how their offenses can become addictive. The primary objective is to educate and provide the offender with understanding how their personal and social pressures can trigger an incident. Emphasizing changing their behavior, taking control, is an essential step to becoming accountable for their actions.

Following the completion of the HELP manual and assessment, clients begin counseling. Counseling combines what they have learned from HELP, along with behavior modification counseling. It focuses on each element of how they allowed themselves into profound situations and what they must do to modify and improve their life. Their counselor will evaluate their educational material, testing, review their participation, attitude, personal issues and if needed, recommend additional support services or counseling necessary for successful completion.

Ending their educational and counseling phase, clients may have to begin a monitoring period. This phase allows each offender to stay in contact/on track with their counselor while straightening their behavior and overcoming any obstacles with supervision. Monitoring is a critical phase of the program because it allows the offender to discuss real-time problems and or situations. This phase may vary due to the severity of the offense, participation, attitude during counseling, or at the Court, probation, parole request.

Upon completion of the program, B.M.G. will provide a written report/assessment/certificate for each client to the Court, attorney, or probation/parole officer. Progress reports are also available upon request during each offenders program. Any irregularities or deviations to the client’s schedule/activities will result in immediate notification to the Court.

Any client whose behavior extends beyond the standard program criteria, such as repeated offends, the request of the Court, the severity of the crime or if the offender psychological profile scores a high-risk assessment will require B.M.G. to request for extended counseling.

CBT can help you change your behavior and live a fulfilled life.

Family & Parenting

Research in recent years has lead to a new awareness of the impact of families and parenting. It is a fact that our families influence us; we are continually discovering that the influence is beyond what we have ever imagined. The family is a dynamic social system, with structured laws, components, and rules. The most important family rules are those that determine what it means to be a human being. These rules embrace the most fundamental beliefs about raising children. What parents believe about human life and human satisfaction rules their way of raising children.

The skills used while parenting forms a child’s beliefs about themselves. Nothing could be more important in child development. Children are any culture’s most significant natural resources. The future of the world depends on our children’s beginnings and how they see themselves. All their choices depend on the view of themselves that is feed on the family structure. That means, what is happening now, will affect the child/family for the rest of their life. The question is, how much do you love them? Therefore, your behavior must be modified to find the trust and encouragement to achieve the needed for love and commitment.
