First Offender Life Skills Program
A first-step program built for people facing their first charge. One mistake should not define a life.
A Note on Court & Probation Acceptance
This program is designed to meet common court, probation, parole, and attorney-referred requirements. Acceptance of any program is always at the sole discretion of your judge, probation officer, or attorney, so please confirm with them before enrolling that this program satisfies the specific requirement in your case. 8 Dimensions of Wellness does not guarantee acceptance by any court, agency, or officer, and no specific court is named as accepting a program unless we have confirmed and documented it. Every certificate of completion includes a unique verification code that your supervising officer, attorney, or the court can check at any time.
Who It's For
- People facing their first charge or first court referral
- First-time offenders whose attorney or diversion program recommended a life skills or education program
- Young adults and students who want to resolve their case and move forward quickly
