DOMESTIC VIOLENCE & ANGER MANAGEMENT

For over a decade, Evergreen Manor has been serving our clients and the community through a short-term Anger Management class as well as through a comprehensive Domestic Violence Treatment Program.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE PERPETRATOR TREATMENT

This program is for persons who attempt to gain power and control over another through intimidation, isolation, emotional manipulation, coercion and threats as well as physical violence.  This is a year-long program of education, group therapy, and individual counseling.  The program is certified by the DSHS Children’s Administration.

Goals of the program are:

• Safety of victims of domestic violence and the community at large
• Cessation of all violent, controlling or abusive acts
• Recognition of patterns and beliefs underlying abusive behavior
• Implementation of effective communication, negotiation and problem-solving skills
• Consistent display of non-violent, non-controlling and non-abusive behaviors
• A workable plan to insure the safety of others

ANGER MANAGEMENT CLASSES

This 12-week class is designed to help individuals who have trouble controlling their temper but do not exhibit the control issues of a DV perpetrator.   Persons in this course may also be in chemical dependency treatment and have found that anger is a trigger for relapse.   The program provides education and exercises designed to improve self-awareness and improve communication.
