Clinicians presented at the Minnesota Children and Adolescent Mental Health Conference and were sought out by DHS for guardian ad litem trainings, highlighting the impact of DV on children and best practices for supporting families. The program reported high completion rates as well notable reductions in mental health symptoms despite increased court involvement for youth in CPS.

The program launched new groups, including a partnership with a local youth shelter for survivors ages 18-24 and an after-care group for additional support post-program. DAP developed culturally specific curriculum in partnership with NorthPoint Health & Wellness Center, increasing BIPOC survivor participation. Staff provided DV101 and healthy relationship trainings to medical professionals, doulas, and foster youth providers, and partnered with local colleges and community leaders to address DV in the African American community.

In FY25, DAP served 200 adult victims through counseling/support groups.Intervention and Prevention ProgramThe Intervention and Prevention Program is primarily group-based, serving adults and transitional age youth (TAY, ages 18-24) who have used abusive behavior. The program meets state requirements for batterers intervention programming and incorporates trauma theory and relational treatment techniques. Participants work to unpack belief systems, accept responsibility, and develop plans for healthy relationships, completing assignmentsand presentations as part of the process. In FY25, the program continued to provide psychoeducation on ending threats, assertive communication, and non-abusive anger expression. Individual therapy supplements group work as needed.
