Batterers Intervention Program (BIP)

 

The Batterer’s Intervention Program is based on the principle that Domestic violence creates a health and safety hazard to a victim (spouse, live-in partner, a child, or other family member) who may experience short and long term effects from the abuse. The immediate and long-term termination of the domestic violence is the priority purpose for batterer intervention. (Section 6 of 920 KAR 2:020).    In other words, the Batterer’s Intervention Program works to stop violence in the home.

The program consists of 28 consecutive weeks, each session lasting approximately 90 minutes.
