This domestic violence and abuse program of Glory House addresses abusive anger and violence through Biblical group discussions and individual counseling. Although the offenders are referred through the court, our primary concern is for the victim. While they may choose to come together, they are not put into class until they are evaluated through their individual intake interview to determine if there is any danger inherent in them being together. If they both wish to take the course, they may be placed in separate classes. Offenders are provided with the opportunity to address their negative behavior and develop skills for controlling violent behavior in relationships through scriptural teachings and practical applications.
