Pre and Post-Charge Healthy Interactions Group

This program is converting from a standing diversion program to a condition within our general diversion program. This program was formally the Family Violence Diversion Program. This program now utilizes an independent counselor that administers cognitive behavioral therapy to participants. A participant is required to complete a comprehensive needs assessment and 16 weeks of combined cognitive behavioral therapy in a group setting. Participants must remain crime free, and avoid violent, threatening, or abusive contact with any victim(s).
