Background & Focus
of the NY Model for Batterer Programs
In 1978, VCS Inc. developed the first batterer program in NYS. Ten years later, VCS partnered with Catholic Charities of Buffalo NY to best resolve controversy generated by batterer programs regarding their purpose. Are programs appropriate as treatment and rehabilitation or best used for accountability and monitoring? Can they achieve both? By listening to the collective wisdom of battered women’s advocates across the country, the NY Model for Batterer Programs was developed. This clear and replicable design contributes to the efforts to eliminate and prevent domestic violence. Measurable outcomes support the efficacy of NY Model Batterer Programs.
Who Should Attend
The training is designed for judges, court clerks and other court personnel, probation and parole officers, prosecutors, defense bar, and domestic violence advocates. This training is also useful for those who work in batterer programs and with domestic violence offenders in other venues, especially CASAC and CPP professionals.
