Developing a comprehensive self paced stages model for BIP: a phase model and an integrated model

This workshop will review the latest stages model of batterer intervention program as either an integrated model or a module program. We will review the major components of this model and a lead a detailed discussion on the strategy of this model. We will point out the gaps in models which do not include this type of program development. Finally we will assist programs in developing methods of intervention that work in coordination with a stages model of intervention.
