Shoplifting and Theft

Here at Embrace Counseling and Consulting we provide engaging, interactive, and effective court approved shoplifting prevention classes to clients that have been accused of theft or shoplifting. This is a live instructor led course and we dive-deep into why people shoplift and steal. We also expose the underlining issues that may cause kleptomania or compulsive stealing. We also offer solutions that our clients can use immediately after leaving class.

• A 3-Hour Court-Approved Class 
• If you have been caught shoplifting or otherwise stealing, you may be required to complete a 3-hour theft and shoplifting class. Georgia requires that shoplifting offenders complete this one-time program as one of their plea or probation requirements. In some cases, individuals are required to complete programs from 5-15 hours for court; in these cases, we are happy to work out a program that will allow you to get the required hours.
