You Can Change
There is no “typical” batterer. People from every walk of life seek treatment for these controlling behaviors:
- Extreme jealousy or possessiveness
- Switching from charm to verbal abuse without warning
- Withdrawing love, money or approval as punishment
- Undermining your partner’s feelings and accomplishments
- Isolating your partner from their friends and family
- Physically hurting your partner
The Family Place Battering Intervention & Prevention Program teaches batterers how to recognize abuse and
change their behaviors. With help from our professional staff members and group counseling, you can learn to stop
hurting your partner.
Abuse is–
- Screaming and calling names
- Throwing objects
- Hitting, slapping or pushing
- Making threats
- Stalking
- Forcing your partner to have sex
Change is–
- Lowering your voice
- Counting to 10 to calm down
- Taking a time-out
- Using kind words
- Showing respect
