P.A.C.T. Programme - Support for Justice Involved

P.A.C.T. – Pathways to Accountability, Change & Transformation

A pioneering pre-sentencing therapeutic programme for justice-involved individuals

P.A.C.T. is Singapore’s first structured psychotherapeutic intervention designed to support individuals facing legal charges — before sentencing, during proceedings, and beyond. P.A.C.T. brings mental health and emotional accountability into the heart of the justice process, creating space for meaningful change before incarceration is even decided.

Why P.A.C.T. Exists

Many individuals who offend are not inherently criminal — they are struggling with unresolved emotional pain, poor impulse control, addiction, identity crises, or complex trauma. P.A.C.T. addresses these root causes through a therapeutic lens, ensuring that clients are supported in transforming their lives for the better.

We believe in upstream rehabilitation — intervening early to disrupt cycles of harm, reduce reoffending, and build long-term reintegration potential.

Who It’s For
