Mid-Coast Family Services’ BIP program is an 18-week program designed to hold family violence offenders accountable for their abusive behavior, as well as to teach them alternative ways to handle conflict in their relationship. The BIP program works in coordination with referral sources, such as probation, parole, and the courts. Classes and/or individual counseling are available for male batterers. Individual counseling is available for female batterers.
The mission of battering intervention and prevention programs in Texas is to eliminate male to female battering by providing services to betterers, promoting safety for victims, and bringing about social change necessary to end battering and all other forms of relationship abuse.
