Specific goals include preventing school failure, enhancing family bonding and functioning, preventing substance abuse by the child and family, and reducing the stress that parents and children experience in their daily lives.

Services are for children and for adults. Participants learn ways to express anger in appropriate ways and to interact with others in acceptable and positive ways. Court-mandated parenting classes (Parenting Without Violence) and domestic violence offender groups for men and for women teach positive discipline, stress management, communication skills, and effective ways to work to stop the circle of violence. Anger Management and Accountability Groups support adults in taking responsibility for their actions and learning to have positive relationships.
