of interest. Failure to promptly submit a disclosure statement required by this paragraph shall constitute

between providers and clients. If a provider has a personal relationship with a client to whom the
Contractor may provide services for, the Contractor must disclose that relationship to the Department.

1. Bidder's legal entity name:
2. Program name or service type
being proposed:
CD LLC (DBA — Crux Counseling)
Autonomic Healing Activation (AHA)
3. Modalities, curriculum or tools that will be utilized in the delivery of the service.
Autonomic Healing Activation is a type of somatic therapy that activates and normalizes the reactive
stress response. AHA is not psychotherapy which treats the mind. AHA is a somatic intervention that
allows the brain to create involuntary sensations and movements which release stress from the
body. The involuntary activity orchestrated by the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) permanently
removes the stress that has accumulated over the years in one session. Involuntary sensations
indicating that stress is present in your nervous system are familiar to you already. Those nervous
habits like tapping your toes or fingers, fidgeting, pacing, clearing your throat, twirling your hair,
chewing on your fingernails and countless others, are neurogenic tremors (involuntary activity
resulting from stress). The chills you get when you are afraid, the butterflies that you feel in your
stomach when you are anxious, the blushing that occurs in your face or neck when you are
embarrassed or self-conscious, the shudder you experience when you feel threatened, are also
neurogenic tremors; involuntary sensations resulting from stress. Those involuntary sensations and
actions (neurogenic tremors) simply show us that there is stress trapped in your nervous system;
they do not remove it. During AHA you consciously allow your ANS to generate and coordinate
involuntary sensations and movements that completely remove stress! AHA can be used for anything
from chronic trauma (preverbal), PTSD, severe mental illness, depression, phobias, anxiety, eating
disorders, fear, distress, psychosomatic diagnosis, physical/mental/sexual abuse, emotional distress,
self-esteem issues and everyday stress. It is also highly effective in managing the urges to engage in
unhealthy coping with stress through sex, eating or psychoactive substances.
4. Capacity to Provide Services (ex. 4 hours/week).
5-15 hours per week (2-5 sessions per week)

Sex Offense Specific Treatment for Juveniles
3. Modalities, curriculum or tools that will be utilized in the delivery of the service.
Individual sessions that utilize the Good Lives Model adapted for Juveniles. The foundation of which
is a CBT approach. The GLM model espouses that people's motivations for behavior are in pursuit of
one or more of the identified "Goods" and that these do not need to be discouraged. The means by
which these "Goods" are achieved is the focus of the model. Initially there is an assessment to
determine which "Goods" are prioritized by the client and specifically which was being met by the
sexual offending behavior. The process from there includes identifying healthy alternative pathways
to achieving the "Goods". The model is effective with juveniles because it reduces the shame that is
often associated with previous treatment models that emphasize avoidance and isolation as a way
of minimizing opportunity to offend. Instead, the GLM, bolsters the strengths of the juvenile and
their family.
4. Capacity to Provide Services (ex. 4 hours/week).
5-8 hours/week
5. Goals of the service.
To address and eliminate a juvenile's sexual offending behaviors while improving their overall
health. Areas of focus include increased healthy coping skills and strategies, improved understanding
of healthy sexual boundaries, improved self -regulation skills, empathy enhancement and victim
perspective taking, enhanced social skills (if needed), increased understanding of the relationship
between thoughts, feelings and behaviors, and if appropriate, clarification or reunification sessions.
6. Outcomes of service.
The successful completion of all identified treatment objectives that are centered around the
prevention of future sexual offenses through the implementation of learned and practiced skills and
concepts. These are guided by the juvenile SOMB standards.
7. Target population for service.
Note: Please include age range, applicable genders, and any specific characteristics/traits/needs.
Any male juvenile between 10-18+ who has been charged with the commission of a sexual offense or
has been adjudicated for a sexual offense.
