Cost of service:
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice's Community Justice Assistance Division (TDCJ-CJAD) requires accredited BIPP programs to charge participants for services as a way of reinforcing that abusive behavior has consequences.
Credentials:
The Capelli Group’s BIPP facilitators are recruited from mental health/wellness backgrounds. All are degreed professionals, and some have completed master's programs and have professional licensures. Each facilitator participates in an intensive initial training program and shadowing process before beginning to facilitate groups solo. In addition, each facilitator receives at least 20 hours of continuing education each year through staff in-service training, conferences, and other activities.
Requirements:
What to expect:
BIPP is not an anger management program. The program curricula address some anger management issues and teach some anger management skills, but it is much more comprehensive in its approach. The curriculum addresses socio-cultural issues, particularly regarding gender and violence, teaches and develops critical thinking skills, and includes therapeutic topic elements, such as empathy, accountability, and communication.
Some courts are requiring both BIPP Classes and Anger Management Classes, we offer both courses that will best fit your scheduled needs
