What we do:
ADVANCE offers alternatives to domestic abuse by providing the opportunity, information and skills training needed to help individuals who have used violence or abuse begin to live non-violently.
ADVANCE is an educational program for those who have been abusive, controlling or violent with an intimate partner or child. A group learning process is used. Although it is not therapy, the process is therapeutic and fosters personal growth.
Our journey includes:
- Becoming more self-reflective and honest about behavior and its impact on others.
- Becoming accountable and taking responsibility for behavior.
- Examining core beliefs about men, women and relationships in order to understand and change abusive actions.
- Learning that there are always non-abusive, non-controlling and non-violent alternatives.
- Experiencing the freedom and benefits of living non-abusively.
