Violence Intervention Programs
Adult Violence Intervention Programs
These are educational courses for men or women who have a history of physical, emotional or verbal abuse towards their intimate partner(s), an anger problem or have been referred by the courts. The goal of these programs is to provide individuals with the opportunity to make personal behavior and belief changes that will allow them to avoid violence within their intimate and other relationships in the future. The Center offers various programs based on need and types of violence ranging from 12-24 weeks of intervention. One of the programs is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice approved Battering Intervention and Prevention Project (BIPP).
Protective Parenting Program
This program is designed for individuals who want to enhance their parenting skills or individuals whom the courts or TXDFPS-Child Protective Services have referred. The goal of this education program is to empower parents with new positive guidance skills and to prevent child abuse or neglect. This program is 12 weeks long and meets governmental agency requirements for protective parenting.
Individuals wanting to participate in any of these programs can call the office to schedule a time for an initial intake and orientation session during normal business hours, Monday through Friday from 9am to 5pm at 512-321-7760, Extension 217.
