Batterer's Intervention Program
The Central Peninsula Batterers Intervention Program (CPBIP), a component of The LeeShore Center, is a state-approved, 36-week educational program for men who have used violence in an intimate relationship. BIP referrals come from a variety of sources; the State Court System, the Tribal Court System, the Office of Children's Services, and Adult Probation.
The goal of the CPBIP is threefold:
- Stopping the violence
- Providing safety for victims
- Holding batterers accountable
Weekly classes focus on challenging values and beliefs that reinforce domestic violence through the use of power and control in intimate relationships. Topics are centered on five specific modules that include:
- Power and Control
- Empathy and Compassion
- Communication Skills
- Emotional Intimacy
- Stress Management and Self-Esteem
All participants attend two orientations followed by 34 class sessions. Orientations are held by appointment at a time arranged with the facilitator. Classes are held twice a week (Tuesday 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm, and Thursday 5:30 pm - 7:30 pm).
The cost is $50.00 for each orientation session and $25.00 per class (total cost $950). Community service is available in lieu of the weekly class fee (after Orientation) for those participants who qualify.
