the Good Lives Model

The Good Lives Model (GLM) is a framework used primarily in rehabilitation for offenders. It focuses on helping individuals achieve a fulfilling life by identifying and fulfilling their core human needs, such as relationships, personal growth, and purpose. Rather than just punishing bad behavior, GLM emphasizes teaching people skills to pursue positive life goals. It acknowledges that everyone has the right to a good life and aims to reduce reoffending by promoting healthy, meaningful lifestyles that align with their values and aspirations.
