SHIELD
Safety, Healing, and Intervention for Ending Long-term Domestic Violence
A gender-specific batterer intervention program that helps men and women end patterns of abuse and build healthy relationships.
Lasting family change requires accountability for harmful behavior—not only support for survivors. Courts and communities need a trusted, evidence-based intervention.
What we do
SHIELD is a batterer intervention program. It uses evidence-based curriculum (including DAIP-aligned practice for men; Turning Points for women) to address:
Patterns of abusive or controlling behavior
Personal accountability
Healthy relationship development
Emotional regulation
Communication and conflict resolution
Parenting and co-parenting responsibility
This program is intended for men and women involved in domestic violence–related cases (gender-specific groups). This program is often court-mandated. SHIELD for Women is described as a structured 26-week track for women involved as primary aggressors in DV-related cases.
OUTCOMES
Accountability • safer behavior • healthier relationships • better parenting & co-parenting
