Men's Anti-Violence Program (M.A.P.)
A Batterers Intervention Program
What Is M.A.P.?
Our Men's Anti-Violence Program is a 26-week program for men who have perpetrated domestic violence against a female intimate partner.
M.A.P is a victim-focused program that is different from anger management. Our M.A.P. program follows the Duluth Model which is the "most widely accepted approach in the world for intervening with batterers and keeping women safer". The Duluth Model for batterers intervention has been studied over time and found that 68% of men who complete the program have not reappeared in the criminal justice system in 8 years.

Who Is Eligible?
What is the Duluth Model?
'The Duluth Model is the most widely-adopted approach in the world for intervening with men who batter and keeping women safer. It has influenced and shaped much of national and state-level policy around batterer intervention and domestic violence work because of its innovative methods and success. Our research has shown that 68% of men who pass through our criminal justice response and are sent to our men’s nonviolence classes have not reappeared in the criminal justice system over a course of eight years. The strength of our intervention model comes from basing every intervention firmly on the experience of women who have been battered, coordinating a consistent criminal justice system response for men who batter, and offering these men opportunities for change. The effectiveness of this approach is witnessed by the men who have chosen to change and the women who report they are safer.”
