DOMESTIC VIOLENCE TREATMENT PROGRAMS

Providing guidance and support to help individuals, families and children heal from domestic violence

Every person deserves safety and respect

Our domestic violence programs work to end violence and help individuals develop healthier relationships. We recognize that it’s difficult for many people to make major changes on their own. Our domestic violence treatment programs engage individuals who suffer from abuse, as well as the abusers.

Our batterer’s intervention program is designed for men who resort to violence. We also offer a specific program for women who have turned to domestic violence. These programs help participants discover and utilize the relationship skills they already have and learn new ways of thinking about how to be a partner or parent. Above all, our domestic violence treatment programs are designed to change destructive behavior and break the cycle of abuse.

Domestic Violence Survivor Counseling & Advocacy Program

As part of our counseling and advocacy program, we educate and advocate for survivors of domestic violence. This program works to empower individuals to break free from abusive relationships. Our treatment program also provides resources and education that promote safety, health and growth. We educate community members about domestic violence, survivors’ rights, how to support survivors and available services.

The domestic violence survivor counseling and advocacy program provides free support for adults, teens and children. Survivor advocates are available in Marion County to guide and support domestic violence survivors through the court processes involved in obtaining a protective order and connect these individuals with the support and resources they need. Domestic violence treatment services are also available in Spanish.
