Summary Labels can stick to people for life and seriously restrict their opportunities for change, improvement and reparation. Those who are sentenced for committing sexual offences will find themselves the most despised in society, the target for everyone's hatred and scorn. Unable to get employment or accommodation. Yet how are they to move on from their terrible acts? The Safer Living Foundation is a charity that provides support for individuals with sexual convictions or problematic sexual behaviors. They offer circles of support and accountability, where volunteers meet with individuals who have been convicted of sexual offenses to provide support and help with reintegration into society. The foundation also runs the Safer Living Centre, which offers a safe space for individuals with sexual convictions to receive support and assistance. The center provides a range of services, including prevention programs for individuals concerned about their sexual thoughts or behaviors. The foundation faces challenges in keeping the location of the center confidential and managing public perception of individuals with sexual convictions. Dave Potter discusses the impact and activities of the Safer Living Foundation, a charity that works with individuals who have committed sexual offenses. He highlights the need for support and rehabilitation rather than punishment, and emphasizes the importance of treating these individuals with dignity and respect. The charity offers various projects and activities, including cooking sessions, discussion groups, games clubs, mindfulness sessions, art classes, and more. The aim is to help individuals develop life skills, improve self-esteem, and reintegrate into society. The Safer Living Foundation has had a significant impact on reducing recidivism rates for sexual offenses. However, there is still a stigma associated with this work, and the media often perpetuates negative stereotypes. Dave emphasizes the need for society to change its perception and provide support for individuals with sexual convictions. He also discusses the challenges faced by staff in maintaining a compassionate approach and the importance of self-care.
