Men's Accountability and Change Program

This program operates under the philosophy that domestic violence is a learned pattern of behavior rooted in power and control—not a result of anger, substance use, or mental illness alone. Through group education, cognitive-behavioral interventions, and individualized counseling, participants learn to identify abusive thinking patterns, take responsibility for their actions, and practice behaviors that promote equality, empathy, and respect in relationships.

When accountability grows, safety follows. Join us to learn more!

Why it Works:

This program is built on the Duluth Model, a nationally recognized framework that promotes accountability, reduces violence, and strengthens community safety.
