Inhaltsangabe

Another Way…Choosing to Change: Participant’s Handbook – 26 Week Curriculum supports individuals as they progress through a facilitator-led, strengths-based, solution-focused batterer intervention program. The handbook presents participants with an intentional and strategic collection of questions and exercises designed to support transformational learning and promote empathy building. This edition is specifically tailored to support a 26-week program.

This unique curriculum combines evidence-based clinical practices with adult learning principles to promote changes in the thoughts, feelings, and actions of participants. It educates participants on what constitutes abusive behaviors, encourages introspection, promotes personal responsibility for abusive behaviors, and teaches non-violent conflict resolution.

The handbook progresses in tandem with the 26-week curriculum, providing participants with weekly interventions and actionable goals. Coping skills, spiritual and emotional healing, relationship management, parenting, socialization, recovery from trauma, mindfulness and relaxation, and personal growth, among a number of other topics, are explored in a group setting, allowing for meaningful discussion and support.

Another Way…Choosing to Change is an exemplary curriculum to rehabilitate domestic violence offenders and, in doing so, increase safety and empathy for victims of violence.

Nada J. Yorke is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, the co-owner of Yorke Consulting, and the manager of Correctional Counseling for Change, which provides assistance to individuals and organizations who desire to implement batterer intervention programming within correctional and rehabilitation centers. With over 35 years in the criminal justice field, Nada is a retired probation officer, former victim advocate, published researcher and author, and recognized court expert in domestic violence, having testified in over 25 trials. She holds a master’s degree in social work from California State University at Bakersfield.
