Batterer’s Intervention Program (BIP): Changes Program

The Batterers' Intervention Program is a 52-week class for people post-conviction or referred by another agency in a domestic violence related situation. Pre-registration is required; self-referrals are not allowed.  The purpose of the BIP course is to address domestic violence through intervention and education. While holding batterers accountable for their actions by addressing beliefs which minimize their choice in their behaviors, other factors that influence the batterer are also addressed, such as psychological and emotional make-up along with socio-economic and cultural factors. The goal of this program is to help those who previously chose violence in their lives to move forward with tools for healthier relationships. All groups are unisex. 

• Accepts referrals from county probation departments, parole, courts, and DSS. Each group is unisex.
• Enrollment costs $200 (includes enrollment fee and textbook) and weekly session rates range from $35 to $70 pending fee assessment.

Child Abuse Intervention Program (CA or CAIP):

The goal of this 52-week course is to “hold people accountable for their choices, help them to understand that they are responsible for their irresponsible behavior, and that they can make healthier, more responsible choices. By doing this, we will help them create a healthier environment for their children. People can choose to stop their abusive behaviors as well as the generational transference of child abuse and neglect.”

• Accepts referrals from county probation departments, parole, courts, DSS, and self-enrolling individuals. Each group is co-ed.
• Enrollment costs $150 (includes enrollment fee and textbook) and the weekly session rate is $35.

Anger Management (AM): Choices Program

This 12-week class develops the tools and skills needed to manage conflict and maintain healthy relationships. Research on conflict resolution shows that most abusive behaviors are learned, and intervention strategies that have the greatest success focus on changing belief systems and thought patterns, managing and expressing difficult emotions, and substituting emotional and physical abuse with improved communication and healthy, non-violent problem-solving methods. This intervention process is offered through a course of constructive and challenging psycho-educational classes with highly-trained facilitators to assist participants in learning alternative methods of relating to their partners through mutually shared decision-making, interdependence, and equitable distribution of power.

• Accepts referrals from county probation, parole, courts, DSS, and self-enrolling individuals. Each group is co-ed.
• Enrollment costs $120 (includes enrollment fee and textbook) and the weekly session rate is $35.

If you have been referred to this program or are choosing to complete this workbook on your own, it is understood that chances are you have made unhealthy choices – specifically in relation to being abusive – violent in your relationship(s) and or/with your family.”
