Domestic Violence Counseling
Our domestic violence counseling program contains three domestic violence offender agendas:
13 Week Educational Program intended for clients with a minimal history of physical aggression within and outside the home.
26 Week Program is intended for a mixture of less assaultive and more assaultive and more assaultive individuals (especially useful communities or organizations that can only implement one program).
56 Week Program is intended for individuals with more severe histories of domestic violence and other assaultive or physically violent behaviors.
These programs have been designed primarily from a cognitive behavior therapy orientation. This model emphasizes helping our clients discover and then alter dysfunctional thought and belief patterns and support or justify acts of domestic violence. Typical topics include: “Changing How You Think”, Empathy Development, and Changing What You Do”.
DIVERSION PROGRAMS
We have designed this Diversion Program in hopes of presenting our justice involved re-entering clients with a new way of addressing and overcoming their challenges. Our curriculum is evidence based and state approved with instructors that are certified in their respective fields, including lived experienced.
A Diversion Program is designed to divert individuals away from the criminal justice system, particularly for non-violent offenses. The aim is to provide an alternative to traditional criminal prosecution, which can often result in incarceration and a permanent criminal record.
The goal is to address the underlying issues that led to the criminal behavior and provide the individuals with tools and resources needed to make positive changes in their lives and a second chance to avoid the long-term consequences of a criminal record.
The Knowledge firm offers a variety of classes and skills that are tailored to the needs of the individuals participating in the program.
