Batterers Intervention Programs (BIP) for Court Approved Rehab

Battering intervention programs have evolved in a lot of ways, changes have been made  In order to better serve the community, protect victims, and further reduce recidivism, The ability to provide services to men who do not speak English, teenage boys (who are at risk of learning violent behavior when witnessing domestic violence from a young age), and abusive partners in same-sex relationships may be made possible in some areas with increased funding for these programs. A few services are also accessible for women who mistreat their partners or offspring.

In addition to learning new ways of thinking about and reacting to stressful situations, the main goal of anger management is helping people identify what triggers their feelings so they can avoid those triggers or choose different responses than they previously used when they were upset or frustrated by them. For example: if being yelled at makes someone feel very agitated but yelling back only makes things worse for everyone involved then it might be helpful for this person not to yell back next time he/she finds himself/herself in such an emotional situation instead try talking calmly until he/she calms down enough so that he/she doesn’t feel like yelling anymore, either way, both options prevent future arguments

The programs also aim to promote gender equality in relationships and typically instruct participants on how to recognize and describe the type of abuse they have engaged in, accept responsibility for the abuse, and find nonviolent solutions instead of resorting to violence. This often aids participants in learning to develop a nonviolent response to behavior that they might otherwise react to violently.
