Abuser Intervention Program

TAKE ACTION

ABUSER INTERVENTION

The Abuser Intervention Program is a 32-week group process that focuses on identifying abusive and controlling behaviors, examining influences that contribute to violence, discussing the effects of violence on victims, children, and perpetrators, and replacing abusive behaviors with non-abusive actions. It provides training in new skills of self-management, communication, empathy, and problem-solving. The focus of these groups is to take accountability for violent behaviors.

All intakes and group sessions are held online via Zoom. Enrollment and participation in the program requires access to the use of a smartphone, computer, or tablet with internet capability and working video/audio to engage in meetings on the Zoom platform. Payments are only accepted online with a debit/credit card via the link below.
