You will receive a packet of information including date, time, and location of your assessment and group sessions; information on fees, expectations, rules, and client rights; and forms to fill out and sign (screening and authorizations).
The court requires a report on your compliance (completing your assessment and enrolling in your group session). It is the client's responsibility to take the compliance letter to the Clerk's office to be placed in their file before the proof date set by the court.
Group Sessions
Domestic Violence group sessions follow the assessment. The program includes 12 60-minute weekly group sessions. The cost is $15 per group session, payable at the time of the session.
Regular attendance is mandatory. Non-compliance with the program will be reported to the court. Non-compliant behavior may include repeated absence (two absences result in dismissal); disrupting the group; failing to complete assignments; violation of a court order; or recurring domestic violence.
