Key Details of the ProgramPurpose: Designed for individuals who have exhibited abusive or controlling behavior toward intimate partners, focusing strictly on personal accountability, victim safety, and eliminating domestic violence rather than general anger management or substance abuse treatment.

Requirements: Typically court-ordered as a condition of probation for domestic abuse offenses, requiring weekly attendance and participation over the course of a year.

Cost: Funded entirely by participants rather than taxpayers, with fees generally required for initial evaluations and weekly group or individual sessions.

Virtual Attendance: Virtual sessions are approved under strict criteria, such as living or working more than 45 miles from the nearest certified program or having specific accessibility needs.
