Battering Intervention Class (BIPP)
Battering is a pattern of behavior that is used to establish power over another person through the use of fear and intimidation, which often includes the threat or use of physical violence. Far too often people batter those who love them the most and steadily slip into patterns of repentance, self-loathing, and ultimately repetition of the battering behavior. Saving relationships and creating a non-violent future begins by having the courage to seek help and pursue change. That is why the Battering Intervention Program exists.
The ADAPT Battering Intervention and Prevention Program meets the Texas State Guidelines of BIPP Programs and has been approved by the Texas Council on Family Violence. People who successfully complete the Battering Intervention Class learn how to apply non-abusive behavior in all of their relationships and ultimately become better partners, parents, and people in the process.
What is BIPP?
The BIPP curriculum teaches people how to take emotional and behavioral accountability and facilitators will help participants explore their individual history of abuse. The program is based on peer-accountability and participants are surrounded by an intimate community of individuals who support and insist upon their positive behavioral changes.
ADAPT Battering intervention classes cover a variety of topics including honesty, accountability, non-threatening behavior, negotiation and fairness, partnership, sexual respect and many others.
BIPP is not anger management. It is focused specifically on the dynamics and interactions with those closest to the aggressor (partners and family members), and generally does not concern friends, co-workers, or authorities.
