​Battering Intervention & Prevention (BIPP)

Children First BIPP groups are accredited by the State of Texas and utilize the nationally recognized Duluth Model Curriculum.  Separate groups are available for men and also for women.

This is a psycho-educational approach designed specifically for interventions with those struggling with
abusive behavior in an intimate relationship. This model focuses on the power/control issues, which is
the dynamic that drives abusive behavior. The groups are designed for an average of 10 members and
are facilitated by a licensed master level clinician. Each person completes a 1 ½ hour intake and 24. 1 ½
hour group sessions that meet once weekly.

The atmosphere of the group is non-blaming, offering the opportunity for each member to take
ownership for his abusive behavior, take responsibility for his choices, and learn healthy non-controlling
ways to resolve conflicts. Members are directed to focus on self and how they can remain non-abusive
and create a safe environment for their partners and family. Participants who are referred by the court will
be provided monthly progress reports and a completion letter at successful completion of the requirements.
