Time to Reshape Your Life?


 The Forge is a 12-week behavioural rehabilitation program designed to help those facing the criminal justice system to create a new path forward, break the cycle of substance addiction, family violence, antisocial behaviour to unlock your full potential. 

Through a unique combination of coaching, hypnotherapy, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques, The Forge empowers participants to foster lasting personal growth and meaningful change.

Too often, individuals find themselves repeating the same patterns and behaviours, hoping for a different result. 


The Forge offers a unique opportunity to rewire your subconscious and break free from this cycle of drug addiction, trauma, violence, and crime to embrace a new direction. 


Are you ready to choose a different path?

Client Progress Report after 12 Weeks

 

The Client Progress Report provides a comprehensive assessment of the individual’s journey throughout the 12-week program. This detailed report highlights the key milestones, achievements, and behavioural changes that have occurred throughout the 12 week program.

  • Personal Development Overview: A summary of the client’s growth, including improvements in emotional regulation, mindset, accountability, and self-awareness.
  • Behavioural Change Analysis: An assessment of the specific behaviours that have shifted during the program, including reduced recidivism risks, enhanced emotional intelligence, and the development of healthier coping mechanisms.
  • Progress Toward Program Goals: A detailed look at how well the client has met the individualized goals set at the start of the program, such as overcoming negative habits, reducing stress, and forming positive routines.
  • Session-by-Session Summary: A review of key takeaways, breakthroughs, and areas of focus from each coaching session, providing a clear timeline of the client’s development.
  • Future Recommendations: Actionable recommendations for continued growth and strategies to maintain long-term success.

This Client Progress Report is not only a reflection of the client’s personal growth but also a valuable document that can be utilized in legal proceedings. It serves as tangible evidence of the client's commitment to rehabilitation and positive change, demonstrating the efforts made to address underlying behavioural issues and the progress achieved through structured intervention. As such, it can be presented in court as part of a case for reduced sentencing, parole hearings, or to show compliance with court-mandated programs.
