Individual, private and affordable Domestic Violence DV Awareness Program
Domestic Violence DV Awareness Program
Why should I complete the DV Awareness Program?
The Domestic Violence DV Awareness Program will help you identify behaviours that may be harming your relationships (including intimate, family and work) and/or putting you at risk of contact with the criminal justice system. It’s not about blame – but it is about increasing personal awareness and taking full responsibility for keeping ourselves and others safe. Sometimes we may not be fully aware of just how harmful our behaviour is…which is why education is so important when it comes to protecting others, particularly those we love most.
What does the program cover?
The Domestic Violence DV Awareness Program is both educational and motivational, with a strong focus on identifying specific behaviours that constitute family and domestic violence under Australian law. It then goes on to discuss ways in which you can get your needs met without putting yourself at risk or harming others – particularly the more vulnerable people including women and children. The program is offered in an individualised one-on-one counselling format to maximise opportunities for openness and honesty. Service delivery is intentionally flexible (phone or videochat – FaceTime, Zoom and MS Teams) to accommodate the needs of participants Australia-wide. Early morning sessions are available upon request.
Will the program help with a Family Law or Criminal Law matter?
Participation in the Domestic Violence DV Awareness Program demonstrates willingness to ‘hold the mirror to your own behaviour and take responsibility for its impact on others. It also demonstrates openness to learning new ways of getting your needs met without putting yourself and others at risk. Upon request you will be issued a Letter of Completion that can be used for family law or criminal law purposes. The document will include details of your participation in the program and a list of therapeutic components covered. It may also include details of any ongoing referrals made by the Program Facilitator.
We also offer the following programs:
Can I get proof of program completion?
A Letter of Completion is available upon request and may be used for administrative and legal (including Family Law and Criminal Law Court) purposes. The letter will not provide a diagnosis or contain any confidential information – but it will contain a concise record of your attendance, topics covered and your conduct throughout. The letter is signed by the Program Facilitator and issued within 24-48 hours of program completion.
How the does the program work?
The Domestic Violence DV Awareness Program follows a 4-session one-on-one counselling format that is informed by an initial assessment of your individual needs and life situation. The sessions run for up to 50 minutes each and can be completed via phone or videochat (FaceTime, Zoom or MS Teams). This program may also be completed as a 2 session ‘add-on’ following completion of the Anger Management Program or Parenting After Separation Awareness Program.
