    The RootCalm Court Packet

    One document that answers every question asked before an online anger management program is accepted — provider credentials, contact hours, how identity is proven, what the court receives, and what happens when a participant does not comply.

    No sign-up required. Forward it to a prosecutor or probation officer as-is.

    Prefer one page? Judge / probation officer quick reference

    Program, hours, format, identity method, assessments, completion criteria, what the certificate means, the clinical boundary and our acceptance position — on a single page, no marketing.

    An honest note on "court approved"

    No court, state or national body pre-approves online anger management providers across jurisdictions. RootCalm therefore does not claim to be court-approved.

    It is a court-compliance program: built to address common court-ordered anger management requirements and documented for a presiding officer to assess. The limited court-refusal refund applies only when the authority refuses the programme for its content within 7 days of enrolment, subject to the Terms.

    Provider and clinical oversight

    Registered clinical psychologist as clinical director, with HPCSA registration and CAMS-II / NAMA certification numbers printed on every certificate.

    Structure and contact hours

    Five tiers matched to sentencing bands, from the 8-hour Essentials track (certificate only) to a 52-hour Tier 3 program. Modules unlock sequentially with recorded time on task.

    Biometric identity verification

    Photo-ID authenticity check plus a liveness-verified selfie at enrolment, with re-verification checkpoints during the program and before the final assessment.

    Court deliverables

    QR-verifiable completion certificate, progress report, final compliance report with pre/post DAR-5 scores, and an attorney portal with client consent. CAMS-II identifies the clinical director's professional certification, not a participant assessment.

    Non-compliance handling

    No certificate for partial work, revocation where another person completed the work, and honest disclosure of lapses to the referring attorney or supervising officer.

    Optional human support

    A facilitator-led group Q&A runs twice monthly. Attendance is kept on the internal compliance file only, does not count toward hours and is not required for completion. Tier 3 also includes monthly asynchronous clinician check-ins.

    Acceptance position

    Review documents are available before enrolment. A full programme-fee refund applies if the relevant authority refuses the programme for its content within 7 days of enrolment; exclusions apply after acceptance or order, for participant misconduct, and for dissatisfaction with results.

    What this program is, precisely

    RootCalm Court Compliance is a psychoeducational anger management program. It is not psychotherapy, does not constitute a psychological or psychiatric evaluation, and is not intended to replace individualised clinical treatment where such treatment has been ordered or recommended.

    The standardised DAR-5 measure documents change in anger-related attitudes and behaviour from pre-program to post-program. They are not offered as proof of rehabilitation or as a risk assessment.

    Acceptance is determined by the referring court, prosecutor or supervising authority. A free pre-approval letter is available before enrolment, and how completion is verified is documented in full.
