Basic Training

Working with intimate partner abusers offers a significant strategy for reducing family violence.  The prevalence of family violence presents both a serious public health burden and criminal justice  problem; putting children exposed to parental violence at greater risk for being IPV perpetrators than  children who have not been exposed to parental violence.

At Yorke Consulting, our goal is to provide  opportunities for long-term cessation of abuse versus short-term interruption of violence for offenders of  intimate partner violence, using Another Way…Choosing to Change (AWCTC) curriculum.

This 30-hr, self-directed training covers the various State mandates needed to successfully run  abuser intervention groups. The subject matter covers important domestic violence knowledge–focused on victim safety and offender accountability, with basic facilitation skill training.
