Treatment Services

Treatment services completes the cycle of hope that STAND! builds through prevention and intervention services. Violence is a learned behavior and can be unlearned. Children can learn that their dark experiences do not have to be their future reality. People who have been abused can heal the damage of domestic violence through therapy and healthy behaviors. And abusers can be confronted with their destructive behavior and change it.

Domestic Violence Treatment

The STAND! Domestic Violence Treatment Program represents just one of the many ways in which STAND! Against Domestic Violence works toward the mission of ending all forms of spousal or partner abuse. Since 1981, the program has worked directly with people who abuse to change the perceptions, values, beliefs, socialization and ways of thinking that underlie their abusiveness. Since 1994 we have also offered two groups for abusive women.
