Background & Focus
In 1978, the battered women’s movement was evolving in New York State. VCS, involved in both local and state organizing (Rockland Family Shelter and the NYS Coalition against Domestic Violence), was encouraged to create a program for men. That program, first in the state, became a major contributor to the NOMAS Model for Domestic Violence Offenders.  A significant characteristic of the model was that it was continually updated and advanced.  We learned from trial and error, experience and listening.  We developed a deepening understanding of the ramifications of male and white supremacy and, above all, an analysis informed by battered women's advocates. We conscientiously revised our model, goals and operating principles according to these insights. In 1991, VCS joined with A New Hope Center in Owego, NY and Catholic Charities of Western NY, in Buffalo, among others, to insure fidelity to statewide standards set by battered women’s and anti-racist programs.
The NOMAS Model is unambiguous in its intent and focus. It is not intended to be an all-purpose program for men. It deals with men* who appear in court in relation to acts of domestic violence. The program is a service to those courts, adding a further mechanism for both accountability and monitoring. Orders show the seriousness with which the court deals with domestic violence.  The program is also a service to the men referred. It provides them with information regarding the roots of men’s violence against women and about their capacity to transform their own behavior . . . if they are willing to do so. 
* Crucial information is available at VCS on services for women who are defendants as well as for the LGBTQ community

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. Social Workers and CASAC and CPP professionals are especially invited and will hear invaluable information that will inform their practice.
