 ne of CSOM's original mandates was to provide training for probation and parole agencies and other stakeholders who share responsibility for sex offender management. In the spirit of that mandate, CSOM has designed and presented training sessions at national conferences, and at local and regional training events. It has also been developing curriculum materials that can be used by probation and parole agencies, treatment providers, victim advocacy groups, training coalitions, sex offender treatment networks, and related organizations, to plan and develop their own training events.
CSOM has been working on the development of these curriculum materials in a number of topic areas. By clicking on each topic, you can go directly to the curriculum on that topic, or learn when the curriculum will be available.
