Our facilitators instill hope in clients who come to us feeling angry, hurt, and/or broken. We do not judge the alleged crime; we do not judge the person. Instead, we treat our clients like human beings who have made one or more poor choices. We teach clients that they are personally responsible for everything about them—from their thoughts, to their feelings, to their actions, to their beliefs—and everything in between. We teach clients that life is about choices, and that each choice has consequences, whether good or bad.

When our clients see the advantage of changing their thoughts, feelings, actions, and/or beliefs, and they practice those changes consistently, outcomes for families are improved. Victims/Survivors are safer. Clients are challenged to reflect on what they need to change in themselves so they can stay out of the judicial system or DCFS. Clients are encouraged to make the changes necessary in themselves for a healthy, intimate relationship. We are not in the business of repairing relationships. Instead, we focus on helping each client become a better partner, a better parent, and a better human being.
