Intimate Partner Violence –

Family Assessment Intervention Response

Parents want to provide their children with the nurturing, stable environment they need to thrive. When there is intimate partner violence, that stability is disrupted for both parents and children.


Exposure to violence among caregivers can impact children and result in behavioral, learning, and emotional challenges. The stress of partner violence may make parenting more challenging, and affect the parent-child relationship.


But there are real solutions you can access – right now.


Children are resilient. Intervention and support can help families heal and pave the way for a brighter, healthier future. IPV-FAIR can help.


When parents have the support they need to provide a safe, stable home, they can better support their children’s healing and resilience.


Our program offers a range of clinical and support services for both caregivers who have experienced abuse and those who have caused harm.


Services include:


  • Trauma screening and assessment for the whole family
  • Safety planning
  • Individually created treatment plans to address unique needs and strengths
  • Clinical services for caregivers
  • Skill building to increase ability to cope with stress and increase healthy communication
  • Education regarding partner violence, relationship health, and parenting
  • Case management and linkages to community resources
  • 24-hour crisis support


Program participation requires a referral from the Department of Children and Families.
