DOSE

Developing Opportunities for a Safe Environment (DOSE)


The DOSE Program has been serving the Triangle community with the mission of “Fostering healthy behaviors and relationships through education and support” since 1990.

Services

DOSE is a 26-week, psycho-educational group program focused on behavioral education and modification for individuals who are court-ordered or who choose to attend the program. Our group approach focuses on concepts of education, motivation, accountability, and responsibility to reduce the incidence of abusive behaviors.

Group facilitators lead sessions using evidence-based techniques and strategies that focus on beliefs, values, and behavior change. Over 90% of those who successfully complete the program resume a normal life without additional domestic violence offenses.

“I plan to remain a non-abusive human being. The only way (I) can change anything in life (is by) changing my way of thinking. Change the way you think and you can change the way you feel; change the way you feel and you can change the way you act.”
