What are BIPPs?

We are joined by wonderful co-workers Erika Reyna-Brodhag and Diane Bocklage to discuss BIPPs—Batterer Intervention and Prevention Programs; we break down what they are, the purpose they serve, and how they’re facilitated. Erika and Diane are on the Support to Services Providers team at TCFV, specifically the Family Violence Services sub-team, which supports BIPP services and other programs in a variety of services. Please note that this episode carries a trigger warning; the focus is on offender services and batterer intervention programs, thus we mention domestic violence. The goal of BIPPs is behavior change and accountability, that’s a given, but the true goal is safety in communities and survivor safety. In our conversation with Erika and Diane, we discuss the importance of BIPPs, who the programs are designed for, and how they’re structured in Texas, specifically. Tune in to find out more about the society-driven factors that lead to violence and why getting to the root of anger is far more valuable than anger management in putting an end to domestic violence.

To learn more about BIPPs in Texas check out TCFV's Tools for Transformation webpage and the Texas Criminal Justice Assistance Division's website for information about accredited programs.
