The goal of the Abuser Intervention Program is to increase the safety of survivors of abuse, hold offending individuals accountable, and promote positive change toward non-violent behavior.

The Abuser Intervention Program is a twenty-eight week program for individuals legally involved in domestic violence situations and referred by the court. Groups are two hours in length. This program can be billed through the participant’s insurance. A cash payment option is also available.
 

The AIP curriculum presented in two stages:

• Stage I is a highly structured educational group lasting at least eight weeks, and educates the individual on violence, power, and control in relationships.

• Stage II begins the process of confronting abusive behaviors and learning more positive, non-violent responses and behaviors.
   

Topics covered include:
Emotion regulation, triggers of aggressive behavior, communication skills, alternative responses, acknowledging responsibility, relationship issues, motivation and obstacles to change.
