Program Goals
The primary goal of the anger management program is to help end family violence and strengthen the family unit by providing intensive therapy programs and educating victims and offenders to change the beliefs, attitudes and behaviors that lead to violence. We believe that personal accountability for behavior is key to making personal change. It is the goal of our domestic management program to foster change by developing personal insight and responsibility for choices.
Batterers Classes Program Content
Groups meet weekly for 2-hour sessions. The cycle of violence and various types of abuse/violence are studied. Clients identify personal indicators of their escalating anger. Anger management and stress reduction techniques are learned and practiced. Family members of enrollees can receive individual counseling appointments to help program effectiveness and promote family safety.
