Developing Opportunities for a Safe Environment (DOSE)

Services

DOSE is a 26-week, psycho-educational group program focused on behavioral education and modification for individuals who are court-ordered or those who choose to attend a Batterer’s Intervention Program (BIP). 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 that successfully complete the program resume a normal life without additional domestic violence offenses.
