Domestic Violence Intervention Program

Family Service’s Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) is a group for men who have abused their partners. Topics of discussion include male privilege, power and control, and the impact of belief systems on violent behavior.

Our Women’s Domestic Violence Intervention Program (WDVIP) is a women’s only program that addresses issues of violence in women’s lives by focusing on issues of accountability and responsibility for violent behavior and understanding the negative effects of violence on her intimate relations and children.

Referrals to these programs come from criminal and civil court, Department of Social Services and individuals who self-refer.
