Domestic violence occurs in about 1 out of 4 relationships. LGBTQ+ couples experience the same rate of violence in their relationships. Persad Center’s Battering Intervention Program seeks to help LGBTQ+ individuals who are involved in these relationships to end the violence in a safe environment that is affirming of their identity and relationship.

Persad Center helps individuals to examine the negative patterns in their relationships, how to spot the triggers for violence, and teaches skills to stop the cycles of abuse. Participants in our program are taught to recognize and communicate their thoughts and feelings more effectively. This program will help you to fulfill your requirements for the court as well.

If you have been arrested during a same-sex domestic violence incident, we can help. Persad offers a program that helps you to examine your violent reactions, your triggers and feelings, and helps you to learn new behaviors.
