Partner Assault Response Program (PAR Program)

Court-Mandated Support. Real Change. Certified Results.

What is Partner Assault Response Program (PAR Program)?

The PAR Program at the Court Counseling Institute is a structured educational and therapeutic intervention created for individuals mandated by PAR court or referred by legal or clinical professionals. Developed by licensed psychologists and mental health experts with deep experience in partner assault response programming and court-involved treatment, this partner abuse class follows evidence-based principles. It is specifically tailored to meet legal mandates while supporting lasting behavioral change and personal responsibility.

We recognize that every individual’s legal circumstances and treatment needs differ. That’s why our partner assault response program is offered in three adaptable formats: the structured connection of a live group class, the convenience of a self-paced partner violence course, or the personalized guidance of one-on-one therapy. Each format ensures participants fulfill their legal obligations in a way that fits their lifestyle and learning preferences.

At the Court Counseling Institute, the PAR Program not only assists clients in meeting partner abuse court program requirements but also encourages deeper accountability, personal development, and healthier interpersonal dynamics. This focused intervention supports a clear path to positive transformation whether it’s post-conviction domestic violence education, pre-trial domestic violence counseling, or a court class for hitting a partner and contributes to building more respectful and safer communities.

Our PAR Program Therapy

The Partner Violence Therapy offered through the Court Counseling Institute is specifically designed for individuals required to attend therapy as part of legal, probationary, or employment mandates. This program consists of twelve 50-minute individual sessions with a licensed mental health professional. Each session follows a trauma-informed, clinically developed curriculum that combines therapeutic dialogue, psychoeducation, and skill-building exercises.

Sessions are typically scheduled once per week; however, for clients with legal or probationary time constraints, a fast-track option is available. With written approval from a lawyer, probation officer, or court official, clients may attend up to three sessions per week to fulfill requirements more efficiently. The program demands full engagement and personal reflection, requiring participants to complete the entire curriculum to receive official documentation. It is designed for moderate- to high-risk offenders committed to genuine change and is not suitable for individuals seeking only educational content or minimal involvement.

All sessions are delivered by licensed therapists to ensure professional care. Client attendance, engagement, and progress are carefully tracked throughout the program. Upon completion, a personalized report is provided to the court or relevant agency detailing the client’s progress. Additional progress updates or letters can be provided upon request.

The Partner Violence Therapy program may be eligible for insurance reimbursement depending on the client’s coverage.
