Batterer’s Accountability –
> Nassau County (26 Sessions Curriculum)
> Suffolk County (32 Sessions Curriculum)
> Repeated Offender (52 Sessions Curriculum)
Reinforcing to clients that Domestic Violence and IPV (Intimate Partner Violence) are crimes, and a choice for which the batterer is totally responsible. Defining power, control, and abusive behavior. Teaching negotiation, fairness, respect, and accountability for behavior in relationships with intimate partners, family members, and acquaintances. In the sessions, participants will learn how engaging in abusive and controlling behaviors with their partner is abusive and illegal.
Sessions focus on how possessive relationships affect everyday living, and how the person being abused is affected in many ways - physical, mental and spiritual. By identifying patterns of behaviors that are abusive, whether done by a woman or a man, one can learn to take responsibility and learn new ways to communicate and respect their partner or the other individual life of being. The emphasis is understanding that healthy living is accepting, respecting not only oneself but others as they are. This is done by learning to learn the likes and dislikes of the other person as well as seeing life through their eyes. If the relationship is not healthy and the individuals cannot change, letting go of unhealthy, toxic relationships is just as important. Not living in an environment in which people feel safe and can choose to be free to choose how to live and grow, is simply unhealthy living. Teach one person at a time to not only learn to love and respect themselves but learn to love and respect others' way of being.
