Description:

RSVP is a violence intervention and prevention program for men focusing on offender accountability, violence prevention, survivor impact and restorative justice. Program participants learn how to stop their violent behavior; they are given opportunities to understand, take responsibility for, and repair the harm they have done. They receive case management, hold daily groups and study curriculum that help them to change their behaviors, beliefs and attitudes. Participants learn ways to accept the consequences of their violence towards their victims, families and community while discovering opportunities to heal the harm they caused. RSVP staff work in collaboration with the SFSD Survivor Restoration team. This program is offered at County Jail #2.
