The Domestic Violence Program is a cognitive-behavioral intervention built on the evidence-based principles and structured approach of MRT–Moral Reconation Therapy®. Using the Bringing Peace to Relationships workbook, participants engage in a guided process that promotes accountability, healthier relationship patterns, improved decision-making, and lasting behavioral change.

The Bringing Peace to Relationships workbook, available in Spanish and customized for Australia, is divided into 24 modules, with each module completed during a group session. Participants complete homework for each module prior to attending the session.

All Domestic Violence facilitators must complete a 4-day, 32-hour Domestic Violence training.
During the Domestic Violence Facilitator Training, each participant will receive a copy of the following:
