Turning Point
Offers a broad range of prevention and intervention services throughout Kent and Sussex Counties for domestic violence offenders, victims, and children affected by domestic violence.
Batterer Intervention Program
Evidence-based intervention program certified by the Domestic Violence Coordinating Council (DVCC). Includes orientation, evaluation and psycho-educational group sessions. The primary goals of the program are to increase offender accountability and victim safety, and promote positive alternatives to abuse. This program is also offered in Spanish. Fees are based on a sliding scale.
Anger Management
Group sessions are for men and women who have directed their offenses toward people that are NOT intimate partners. Fees are based on a sliding scale.
Victim and Children Services
Victims of domestic violence most often self-refer and may receive individual counseling or participate in a support group with others. The children's program serves children ages 4 -17 affected by domestic violence. Individual and group counseling, play therapy, safety planning, parenting support for the non-abusing parent, and services for teens in abusive dating relationships are offered.
Prevention—REAL Relationships
Focused on the primary prevention of teen dating violence. Utilizes two evidence-based programs, Hanging Out or Hooking Up for school-based wellness centers and Shifting Boundaries (with adaptations to fit the local school districts) to improve youth knowledge and skills around having healthy relationships. Programming made possible through funding from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
