perpetrator programs

Perpetrator programs are intervention initiatives designed to address and change the behavior of individuals who commit domestic violence or abuse. These programs typically involve counseling and education, focusing on understanding the roots of abusive behavior, accountability, conflict resolution, and healthy relationship skills. The goal is to prevent future violence by helping participants reflect on their actions, develop empathy, and adopt non-violent ways to manage conflict. Such programs are often mandated by courts but can also be voluntary. Overall, they aim to promote safety and healing for both the victims and the offenders.
