Domestic Violence Survivor Empowerment Program

F.E.A.T. offers a Domestic Violence Survivor Empowerment Program designed to support individuals who have experienced intimate partner or domestic violence. This program is survivor-centered, trauma‑informed, and aligned with Triple P (Positive Parenting Program) principles, while remaining clearly separate from batterer intervention services.
