Are you working with an Abuse Intervention Program and need to know how to best serve your clients?

The Gateway Project curriculum, “A Path to Nonviolence” is a 28-week program designed for men who have used abusive behaviors toward an intimate partner. Authored by researchers, practitioners, and participants in Baltimore City, Maryland, this highly interactive curriculum is best suited for abusive partners who not only perpetrate oppressive behaviors, but may also experience systemic oppression as a member of a marginalized community. ­­Lessons are designed to be accessible to a low-literacy population with high rates of trauma symptoms.

A study supported by the Maryland Governor’s Office on Crime Prevention, Youth & Victim Services found that participants who successfully completed a program using this curriculum had a statistically significant lower rate of re-offending when to compared to those who were not referred to or attend the program, even when differences in samples were controlled (Richards & Murphy, 2017).

 Led by, Lisa Nitsch, a nationally recognized intervention program leader and trainer, this curriculum training is designed to be informative and engaging in today’s virtual world.
