Our DV program is designed to educate others about the issues and effects of domestic violence in relationships and in families.

Our group/individual sessions meet once a week for 12 weeks, 26 weeks- Level I and 52 weeks- Level II. Our rate is $100.00 per week per person and our Assessment/Intake is $150.00. (We are a Non-BIP)
We also offer a DV Prevention & Anger Management Awareness for Couples Program. The purpose of this program is to educate and help couples deal with issues that cause major distress in the relationship. Domestic Violence may start off with negative verbal comments that may turn assaultive towards one another. Then, mental and emotional stressors of the relationship are added to feelings of anger, hurt and resentment between the two. Over a period of time, the relationship continues to get worst and the last resort is physical and violent. All the while, the domestic violent type behaviors began with the negative verbal comments and/or the mental and emotional stressors in the relationship. We want to help prevent abuse and encourage the awareness of the behaviors that lead up this unfortunate event.
DV Prevention & Anger Management Awareness for Couples- $150.00 per couple session 1x per week for 6 weeks (2-hour session); Assessment/Intake (two assessments) $250.00.
