Skagit Domestic Violence Impact Panel

The DV Impact Panel is a one-hour informational session featuring multiple speakers, including law enforcement and batterer intervention specialists. The DVIP is not a treatment program. Our goal is to reduce repeat violence and recidivism by educating participants about domestic violence and the impact it will have on themselves and their family, and to encourage those participants to reach out for further services. The panel is designed for first-time offenders on simple convictions who have been court-ordered, and is inadequate for repeat offenders.
