There are seven different classes held over the week. After the client has attended half of the program, the facilitators fill out a progress report to see if the client appears to show change. Each client completes an aggressor's scale for propensity toward violence at orientation and graduation to note the changes.

Family Violence Intervention Program's curriculum is designed to help men and women stop abusing by achieving five different objectives including:
- Assisting the client to understand that violence is a way of controlling the victim's actions, thoughts, and feelings by examining the intent of the batterer's acts of abuse and the belief system.
- Participants will increase understanding of the causes of the violence by examining the cultural social contexts in which the violence is displayed.
|
|
-
The participant's willingness to change the actions by recognizing the negative effects of the behavior on the relationship, the children, friends, co-workers, family, and himself.
-
The client should become more accountable to those hurt through the use of violence.
-
The curriculum provides clients with practical information on how to change abusive behavior by exploring non-controlling and nonviolent ways of relating.
