Battering Intervention Prevention Program (BIPP)
Majestic Counseling and Consulting, LLC.

BIPP is a court-approved, CJAD accredited, psycho-educational program designed to give clients the tools needed to achieve healthy relationships. 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.
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.
Offenders are held accountable for past abusive behavior and taught the fundamentals of leading a nonviolent lifestyle. Although BIPP works directly with offenders, the underlying goal of these programs is to enhance the safety of battered women and their children.

Court Ordered Domestic Violence Assessment (DVA)
A court-ordered domestic violence assessment is a way to measure the risk of continued violence and identify the need for safety planning. It’s not about criminal charges or convictions. It is about understanding the severity of the situation, including your relationship with the other person involved, and preventing harm not only to who you might be in a relationship with but to yourself and other family members or people in your household. After the evaluation, the individual will be considered in terms of low, moderate, or high risk for future violent behavior and provided with appropriate recommendations to reduce the risks going forward.
The cost for Domestic Violence Assessment (DVA) and report is $300. The report is completed 5 business days after the interview. The process takes approximately 60-90 minutes and is done by a licensed professional evaluator who will evaluate the defendant’s risk of future violence. After completing the assessment, the evaluator will write a report detailing their findings. This report will be provided to the court and will be used to help determine what kind of sentence, if any, you may receive.
