Nearly three out of four Americans personally know someone who is or has been a victim of domestic and/or intimate partner violence.
Domestic violence affects millions, both women and men, of every race, religion, culture, and status.
It’s not just punches and black eyes — it’s yelling, humiliation, stalking, manipulation, coercion, threats, and isolation.
It’s stealing a paycheck, keeping tabs on someone’s online activity, non-stop texting, constant use of the silent treatment, or calling someone stupid so often they believe it.
If you have clients with violations for any of these behaviors, consider using our Conflict-Wise course for sanctions. Conflict-Wise helps individuals recognize the impact of their abusive behaviors on themselves and others. It also identifies high-risk drinking, drug use, criminal activities, and other risky behaviors that may contribute to their abusive behaviors.
Becoming aware of their damaging behavior can be an important initial step in making a change. Conflict-Wise develops an action plan using their preferred anger and stress management skills. They will learn conflict resolution strategies and other life skills to diffuse anger triggers and to better manage their behavior.
