Intervention services for adults of any gender and sexual orientation, who use Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) in any form to maintain or increase power and control over an intimate partner.
Our groups begin with grounding exercises and check-ins on how the week went for our participants. Each week has a theme, though themes can change based on our participant’s feedback. Our participants give examples and participate in a live log, watch vignettes, role play, and work through scenarios and real-life examples to better understand themselves and their beliefs. Two trained staff co-facilitate the group, which is set up in a u-shape. At the end of each group clients give their feedback or takeaways for that day.
We are involved in the Domestic Violence Coordinated Courts (DVCC), allowing us to collaborate with local law enforcement, court personnel, probation, and others.
Intimate partners may include a spouse, ex-spouse, intimate partner, and/or ex intimate partner.
Intimate partner relationships can start with a single interaction and aggressors may have one of more intimate partners.
Additionally, facilitators offer Turning Points groups which serve primarily women who have used violence in a relationship but are not considered to be the primary aggressor.
These services are provided to try to stop abuse, by helping participants:
