Batterer's Intervention Programs

Batterer’s Intervention Programs (BIPs) are structured counseling or educational programs designed for individuals who have committed acts of domestic violence. Their goal is to help offenders understand the impact of their behavior, develop healthier ways to manage anger and conflict, and prevent future abuse. These programs often involve group sessions, individual counseling, and ongoing monitoring. While participation does not guarantee change, BIPs aim to promote accountability, reduce harm, and enhance safety for victims and their families through education and behavioral change.
