Wellplace is the founder and brainchild of
the Forensic Assistance Program® (FAP).
Traditional Employee Assistance Programs
(EAP) have long demonstrated their ability to provide cost effective
support services to employees. The benefits are well documented
and include decreased employee absenteeism, decreased disability
claims, decreased workplace abuse of drugs & alcohol, decreased
workplace violence, increased productivity, decreased employee turnover,
a substantial return on each dollar invested into the EAP, and so
on.
Wellplace believes the EAP model can be effectively
fashioned and implemented to service the probation and parole population.
The endpoint result of an FAP can parallel or exceed that of the
EAP.
Statistics regarding an offender’s
chances of being returned to prison are discouraging.* The FAP provides
economical and professional transitional support services to a population
that typically has few. The Wellplace FAP is very similar to our
EAP services. We offer telephone based and in-person crisis management
services and counseling regarding issues that can often jeopardize
one’s probation/parole privilege.
The Wellplace FAP attempts to proactively
address stressors and conditions that may result in recidivism,
substance abuse, domestic violence, and unhealthy choices. We perform
this service with an understanding of, and respect for, the role
of the probation/parole officer. The Wellplace FAP serves as a supportive
adjunct designed to reduce decisions and actions that may lead to
re-imprisonment. This is accomplished by providing the offender
population with easy 24 hour, 356 day access to professional crisis
management services and brief counseling.
Our contact with the probation/parole client
is well documented and daily summary reports forwarded to the appropriate
authority and PO.
