Alternatives
to Violence (ATV), a men's program, and Women Ending Abuse and Violence (WEAV),
a women's program, teach men and women to avoid abuse and violence in dealing
with conflict situations.
Alternatives
to Violence is a 26-week course and is designed as an open-ended program for
men who either enroll voluntarily, or are court-ordered, to work on issues
related to domestic abuse battery. The group is co-facilitated and urges peer
leadership. An open-ended process enables participants to start at any time and
learn from one another. The core goal is to teach healthy ways to communicate
and be in a relationship free from abuse based on issues of power and control.
Women
Ending Abuse and Violence is the female equivalent of the ATV men’s program.
