The Domestic Violence Intervention Academy (DVIA) provides intervention, education, and support to individuals who have engaged in domestic violence, to promote accountability, change abusive behavior, and build safe relationships. 

 

DVIA is committed to: • Reducing repeat violence by addressing root causes and changing harmful behaviors • Promoting accountability and responsibility for participants court-approved or self-referred • Teaching healthy communication, conflict resolution, and emotional regulation • Educating teens, adults, and families on recognizing red flags and building safe relationships • Partnering with community organizations, courts, and advocates to create safer homes and communities • Uplifting survivors by providing tools, support, and pathways to healing • Transforming mindsets with compassion, education, and consistent standards.

 

At its core, DVIA believes that prevention is possible, change is real, and every life is worth protecting. Our 26-week Domestic Violence Intervention Academy is designed to provide court-mandated defendants with re-education on the dynamics of domestic violence. Participants will gain a deeper understanding of their behavior and learn healthier, more respectful ways of interacting with intimate partners and family members.
