Our Batterers Intervention Program was recently highlighted on FOX28 news. Program participants spoke of how they battle their inner demons every day. They know there's NO guarantee they won't go back to their old ways. But with counseling, time, and a one-day-at-a-time approach, they can make progress. "Take it slow, day by day. If you do get upset just talk to somebody or take a walk."
Our Batterers Intervention Program utilizes intensive group therapy over a 26-week period to treat batterers and STOP the cycle of violence. Enrollees in the program undergo an initial intake assessment of domestic violence and substance abuse. Monthly staffings are conducted with Probation Officers, Group Facilitators, and YWCA Victim Advocate representatives. Lifetime after-care is available at no charge to each participant who completes the 26-week course.
Johnny, who appears in the report that appeared on FOX28, knows that it is an extremely difficult struggle to overcome his tendencies. "If you think you can help yourself, you can't."
