(Please
note that Alternatives To Violence is a separate organization
from RealHope.com and Pacific Skills Training Co.)
We have openings in both the West Los Angeles
and Long Beach Groups:
Our intake fee is $125. for the one and
a half hour interview.
Group sessions are $50. per session.
The
majority of our group members are self referred
and not coming because the court sent them. This means that
there is more motivation for change present in our groups.
Our groups focus on changing the
beliefs that support verbally controlling
and abusive behaviors. Each group is facilitated by male/female
teams.

with spouse abuse. She wrote the book, 'It Could Happen To Anyone:
Why Battered Women Stay.' She has been the keynote
speaker for dozens of professional organizations regarding domestic
violence and batterers treatment programs. She co-chairs the California
Association of Batterers Intervention Programs and was a pioneer
in the treatment of abusers.
Professionally facilitated groups
for men with behaviors ranging from controlling verbally abusive
to being physically violent. |
