Outpatient Competency Restoration
Our instructors teach each individual the language of the court process, the role of each professional and the concept of two sides of the process.
We start with the basics and build on to each concept so that you can effectively and realistically weigh the legal options and ask the right questions to get the best possible outcome for your situation.
We concentrate on concepts, not just language, on understanding, not just rote memory about how the court system works.
Through building this knowledge and learning some basic mindfulness techniques our students can remain calm, pay attention and be engaged in their own criminal defense.
Competency Restoration/Attainment Service
AT FESC we offer educational information for defendants who are going to trial about the basic concepts of the adversarial nature of the court proceedings and how to work with your attorney to help you resolve your case.
We are one of Ohio’s certified outpatient competency restoration service providers, and we are the designated provider for the adult courts in Butler, Warren, Clinton, Highland, Pike, and Preble counties.
We can provide education services for adults and juveniles facing criminal court charges.
Our programs are tailored to the individual participant so the curriculum can match that individual’s learning needs and styles. We offer classes in-person and via video and will work with your case manager and treatment team if that is needed, as well.
To get started, please complete the contact form and let us know you are interested in competency restoration. We will contact you to understand your situation and let you know what the options are. You might need a court referral in order to register, but we can discuss that with you.
