- Is encouraged for any person (men, women, adolescents) who is feeling unsafe due to abuse, harassment, or stalking.
- Is encouraged for any person seeking to modify or lift a current Criminal No Contact Order.
- Utilizes a tool designed to incorporate standard safety protocol, patterns of previous behavior, and individualized options so as to effectively reduce risk of harm.
- Educates people about the cycle of violence, preparing for the occurrence of violence, and implementing safety strategies during an incident as well as after leaving a relationship.
