What
is Domestic Violence?
Experts define domestic violence as purposeful,
violent behavior used to maintain power and control over a person. It cuts across
geographic, religious, economic, and racial barriers. Abuse includes verbal, psychological,
emotional, financial, physical, sexual or spiritual attacks.
Dallas
Battering Intervention and Prevention Program Mission
My Dallas
counseling program focuses on working with batterers to change abusive patterns
in an atmosphere that is caring, compassionate, and safe. I work on behavioral
alternatives that stop the cycle of violence. I help clients to grow in ways that
enable them to live their lives free of violence and abuse. My mission is to end
domestic violence in our community. I believe this can be accomplished by dealing
directly with the source of this growing problem. Domestic violence in any relationship
will not just disappear without intervention. Group
and Individual Counseling Goals
My Dallas Battering Intervention
and Prevention Program (Dallas BIPP) classes consists of groups for family violence
offenders and individual sessions, in which offenders are held accountable for
past abusive behavior and taught the fundamentals of leading a nonviolent lifestyle.
My program works directly with offenders to enhance the safety of battered women,
their children, and to help the offenders develop positive change.
