Notes:	The importance of pro-social support in the rehabilitation and reintegration of sexual offenders is undisputed; however, there are few published demonstrations of how practitioners engage offenders' support networks in treatment. Circles of Support and Accountability (COSA) is arguably the best known framework for addressing social support, and emerging research supports its effectiveness in reducing sexual recidivism. COSA is specifically designed for high risk sex offenders who lack pro-social support. The current paper describes a Corrections Victoria initiative that engages offenders' existing support networks in treatment. Support and Awareness Groups (SAAG) aim to enhance pro-social support, promote treatment generalisation, and assist in community re-entry. In the current paper, the SAAG service delivery model is described, including the processes involved in forming a SAAG and the implementation of SAAG in Corrections Victoria Sex Offender Programs. The paper concludes with a brief discussion of the SAAG model in the context of contemporary rehabilitation and desistance theories.
