Target Goals for the Domestic Violence Intervention Program

- To help participants understand the connection between unfocused random anger and their impact on society, the family and relationships.
- To teach participants coping skills and the negative effects of anger on relationships, individual stressors and triggers, and choosing new behaviors.
- To focus on alternatives to violence through education and professional training that teach participants how to express anger, stress and frustration in a healthy way.
- To encourage participants to utilize community resources that are available such as counseling, and crisis/trauma intervention.
- To give participants different insights into their individual style of anger.
- To emphasize the importance of effective communication in building and establishing healthy, positive-progressive relationships.
