Reply to "Domestic violence perpetrators treatment"

Douglas, I have designed a curriculum for CA standards (52-weeks) which incorporates the ACEs research and has shown very positive outcomes for high program retention.  I find that simply giving the clients an ACE questionnaire is just "information -sharing", whereas implementing a program designed to promote and help them achieve wellness will more likely break the intergenerational cycle of violence. The pilot project conducted 2011-12 resulted in 70% graduation and low recidivism for DV arrests (zero at 18-months post graduation and 10% at 3-years).

The book is titled "Another Way...Choosing to Change" and is available in both English and Spanish (pending).  You can use the Amazon feature to "look inside" to see how the curriculum is laid out.  I just reviewed the Technology for ACEs blog and it correlates with the curriculum design perfectly.

Additionally, I have trained probation officers in CA how to evaluate BIP's for more effective outcomes and have introduced the ACE questionnaire to them to consider these issues when supervising offenders.

Please feel free to contact me if you have other questions.
