> Sacro’s mission– Is to be a community based organisation that will create safe and cohesive
communities by reducing conflict and offending
> Sacro’s key principles– That conflict is most effectively resolved through informal, facilitated
resolution which assist those involved to identify their own lasting solutions
– That offending and its consequences are most effectively dealt with through an emphasis on community disposal and sentencing
Who are we?

RESETTLEMENT - A REMINDER
"I never had any help when I left. I just left. I walked out of the front gate with my kit bag with all my civvy stuff, my campaign medal, my book, my red Army discharge book that is and that was it. I walked out of the gate, called a taxi to the station and caught a train back home. That was it. Done."

Lt colonel Dave Grossman
The psychological cost of learning to kill in War
“War is an environment that will psychologically
debilitate 98 percent of all who participate in it for
any length of time. And that 2 percent well they
appear to have already been insane –aggressive
psychopaths – before they reached the battlefield.”

“According to Hoge and colleagues (2007), the key to
reducing stigma is to present MENTAL HEALTH care as a
routine aspect of health care, similar to getting a check up or
an X-ray. Soldiers need to understand that stress reactions-
difficulty sleeping, reliving incidents in your mind, and
emotional detachment-are common and expected after
combat... The soldier should be told that wherever they go,
they should remember that what they're feeling is "normal
and it's nothing to be ashamed of.”
― Joan Beder, Advances in Social Work Practice with the
Military
