BUSI referral curriculum
Court & Referral-Ready Educational Courses
These are the first three BUSI revenue-supporting courses to build because they fit the BUSI philosophy, support court or agency referrals when accepted, and can create sponsored seats for participants who need help.
Use Careful Public Language
BUSI should not call these courses court-approved unless written acceptance exists for that court, probation office, agency, or referral source.
Use: "Court/referral documentation available" and "Accepted when approved by the ordering court or referral source."
Philosophy alignment
The BUSI Pattern Used In Every Course
Each course should feel like BUSI, not a generic class. The participant is seen, heard, and valued, then asked to practice responsibility with integrity.
Build trust first. Listen before correcting. Name who is affected and who needs to be heard.
Use the right tool, support, referral, truth, or plan before reacting or repeating harm.
Manage choices, time, money, relationships, anger, and opportunities responsibly.
Follow through when no one is watching. Completion must show proof, not only promises.
Course 1
BUSI Anger Management & Conflict Accountability
Best first revenue course. It fits the founder credentials, the existing Program A curriculum, and common referral needs for behavior, conflict, accountability, and repair.
Curriculum Sequence
Module 1 - Anger Awareness and Triggers
Participants identify anger as a signal, not an excuse. They map triggers, body warnings, escalation points, and the first moment a safer choice was possible.
- Evidence: trigger map, body warning list, early-exit phrase.
Module 2 - Accountability and Relationship Impact
Participants learn how anger affects trust, safety, family, work, and opportunity. They practice ownership language without blame-shifting.
- Evidence: impact circle, accountability statement, repair plan.
Module 3 - Emotional Regulation and Responsible Pause
Participants practice cooling-off skills that include a return plan, not avoidance. They build a written safety and self-control plan.
- Evidence: reset plan, support contact, high-risk pattern list.
Module 4 - Communication Without Harm
Participants practice direct communication that protects dignity, states boundaries, and reduces retaliation or threats.
- Evidence: four-line communication script and boundary statement.
Module 5 - Repair, Prevention, and Future Stewardship
Participants complete a prevention plan that identifies supports, restitution or repair actions, and integrity commitments for future conflict.
- Evidence: final repair plan, relapse-prevention map, certificate-readiness review.
Course 2
Responsible Choices, Anti-Theft & Restitution Stewardship
A practical decision-making course for diversion, referral, employer, family, or self-referred participants. This should be positioned as integrity, restitution, and decision-making education.
Curriculum Sequence
Module 1 - The Choice Before The Consequence
Participants identify the pressure, need, impulse, or belief that came before the harmful choice and name the earlier decision point.
- Evidence: decision timeline and risk pattern list.
Module 2 - Stewardship of Trust, Property, and Opportunity
Participants examine how theft, dishonesty, or irresponsible choices affect victims, family, work, finances, and community trust.
- Evidence: impact statement and stewardship reflection.
Module 3 - Restitution and Repair Planning
Participants create a realistic repair plan that may include apology, restitution, repayment steps, service, budgeting, or other lawful repair actions.
- Evidence: repair plan with dates, supports, and proof needed.
Module 4 - Integrity Under Pressure
Participants practice a future-pressure plan for saying no, asking for help, delaying action, and choosing integrity when nobody is watching.
- Evidence: pressure response script and 30-day integrity plan.
Course 3
Community Service Orientation & Job Readiness Track
This course turns service hours into a growth pathway. It helps BUSI document community service properly while preparing participants for reliability, teamwork, communication, and possible paid helper roles.
Curriculum Sequence
Module 1 - Service With Dignity
Participants learn that service is not punishment when done well. It is a chance to repair trust, practice responsibility, and contribute to a real need.
- Evidence: service goal and participant responsibility agreement.
Module 2 - Workplace Readiness Basics
Participants practice punctuality, communication, appearance, safety, following instructions, and asking clarifying questions.
- Evidence: readiness checklist and communication script.
Module 3 - Skills Inventory and Role Match
Participants identify current skills, safe work limits, support needs, and possible BUSI service roles that do not expose private records.
- Evidence: skills inventory and role preference list.
Module 4 - Verified Hours and Next Step
Participants learn how service hours are documented, who can verify them, and how completed service can lead to mentoring, referrals, or supervised helper opportunities.
- Evidence: signed time sheet, supervisor note, 30-day next-step plan.
Completion Standard For All Three Courses
- Participant intake and agreement completed.
- Attendance or required hours documented.
- Response workbook completed and reviewed.
- Payment, sponsor seat, or sliding-scale approval documented when applicable.
- Certificate is released only after BUSI review confirms the record.
- Any court/referral use must match the ordering source instructions.
Public fee model
Revenue That Sponsors Access
BUSI can publish the basic fee and sponsor-seat model because it helps donors, courts, agencies, and participants understand how paid seats support hardship access. Detailed margin, stipend, and reserve decisions should stay in the internal Operations Hub.
| Course | Standard Fee | Hardship Option | Sponsor Seat |
|---|---|---|---|
| Anger Management & Conflict Accountability | $195 | $75 to $125 | $195 sponsors one full seat |
| Responsible Choices / Anti-Theft / Restitution | $95 | $40 to $75 | $95 sponsors one full seat |
| Community Service + Job Readiness | $75 | $25 to $50 | $75 sponsors one full seat |
Recommended public promise: when feasible, BUSI uses paid course income and sponsor seats to help provide hardship seats, materials, documentation, and supervised service opportunities.
