The program is for individuals who have been mandated by the Court to attend the PAR program in response to a criminal charge involving domestic violence.

Prior to participation in the group program individuals attend an intake meeting. During the intake meeting individuals will meet with a group facilitator to discuss their suitability for the program and to determine their fee.

The group sessions are led by a counselling team who discuss with the participants issues related to domestic violence and provide the opportunity for participants to learn non-abusive ways of behaving.

Victim/partners are also contacted through the program.
