“The facilitator walked in [HMP Belmarsh ] wearing thrudark and said;
"Hey big man, nice beard."
I thought..
my wife is dead, I've been to war, I am in prison. What is Lego® going to do for me?
In 3 hours, it saved my life.
If I could learn to do this [STEALTH®]
I could help so many people
and most of all I could even use it with my kids. It works.”

FEEDBACK
“This method has the potential to heal and positively impact military personnel’s family, community and workplace as well as prevent adverse events.
The LEGO® brick allows for a “disarming” of the challenge as it externalises the challenge for outside reflection. This tool goes deeper and faster at getting after the root cause of challenges and provides time to explore the possibilities and positive future actions.”

“AL is a highly experienced criminal justice academic and an outstanding facilitator. I worked with Al using LEGO® to connect with hard to reach prisoners and train staff to use the tool to build self awareness and bring about positive behavioural change.
He inspired the prisoners and staff he worked with, his methods unlock a level of communication and empathy I haven’t seen amongst groups of people before.”

“I can really see the dedication AL has and his ability to inspire the people he meets with this exciting and effective tool.
This tool takes away the barriers that are usually present, especially within a custodial environment and I can really see it working with groups of prisoners. it has the ability to impact positively on behaviours and attitudes for prisoners and staff working in those challenging environments.”
