Brief Description:(The information in this program outline is provided by the program representative and edited by the CEBC staff.)
The Domestic Abuse Intervention Project (DAIP) has been rated by the CEBC in the area of Domestic/Intimate Partner Violence: Batterer Intervention Programs. The DAIP was designed in 1981 as a Coordinated Community Response (CCR) and includes law enforcement, the criminal and civil courts, and human service providers working together to make communities safer for victims. The DAIP, located in Duluth, Minnesota, includes a 28-week education program for offenders. This model is commonly referred to as the "Duluth Model." The program uses the curriculum Creating a Process of Change for Men Who Batter, which was developed by the DAIP. Advocates at the DAIP contact the partners of men court-ordered to the program to offer advocacy, community resources, and education groups for women.
