Duluth Curriculum Training: Creating A Process of Change for Men Who Batter

June 28-30, 2021

DAIP curricula are grounded in the Duluth Model, a constantly evolving philosophy based in DAIP’s work to end men’s violence against women through coordinated community response. The philosophy and concepts that guide the material can be challenging for both new and experienced facilitators.

Training provides important opportunities for participants to understand the curriculum and the process of facilitation, to examine their motivation for doing batterer-intervention work, and to examine their beliefs about men who batter and women who are battered. It is perfect for anyone who is starting a batterer intervention program, who is new to men’s non-violence group facilitation, or who has been facilitating for a while and would like to refresh their insight and information.

DAIP strongly encourages anyone who is using early versions of the curriculum, or parts or adaptations of more-recent versions, to complete a training program. Learning about the curriculum in this context will productively challenge and change how facilitators perceive and practice their work.

The prerequisite to purchasing this curriculum is having completed the curriculum training within the last 10 years.
