When there is violence within a household,
it can be a traumatic experience for all those involved. The goals of
the Domestic Violence Offender Intervention Program (DOVE) are to increase
offender accountability and victim/family safety.
Through the (DOVE) Program, domestic violence
offenders can learn how to identify their control issues, appropriately
work through their feelings, recognize the impact of their behavior, and
make behavioral changes to improve their current and future relationships.
- Two session assessment including substance abuse
evaluation and risk assessment
- 90-minute weekly group sessions targeting domestic
violence issues
- Individualized treatment planning for the offender
- Psychiatric consultation as needed
- Concurrent, collaborative substance abuse and/or
gambling treatment through Wheeler Clinic’s Addictions Unit
- Referral for other services as necessary (i.e. individual
or inpatient treatment)
- Ongoing victim contact to assist in evaluation and
monitoring
- Inform victims of local resources and critical information
about the program
The DOVE Offender Intervention Program
is designed to collaborate closely with criminal courts and local domestic
violence shelters. This cooperative effort helps to increase victim safety.
