Emerge Program For People Who Use Violence

People who abuse were taught one way or another that it is an effective way to get what they want, regardless of the impact of others. You can unlearn these beliefs and there is always time for change. enCourage Advocacy Center uses the intensive, 36-week Emerge group program, which focuses on:

• Immediately stopping physical abuse and intimidation
• Recognizing and describing how you have been harmful towards your partner and family
• Understanding the harm your behavior has caused
• Understanding the benefits and costs of your past behavior and how you can benefit from changing your behavior now
• Working to be open and honest with group leaders and fellow group members
• Identifying ongoing harmful behavior
• Examining what you need to do to become respectful and non-abusive
