Batterers' Intervention Programs

Batterers' Intervention Programs are structured therapeutic sessions designed to address and change abusive behaviors in individuals who have harmed a partner through violence or coercion. These programs aim to help offenders understand the root causes of their behavior, develop healthier coping strategies, and take responsibility for their actions. Typically mandated by the justice system, the goal is to reduce future violence, promote accountability, and ensure the safety of the victim and community. Participation often includes group discussions, education, and skill-building exercises focused on anger management, empathy, and respectful relationship dynamics.
