Provides assessment and treatment for individuals who have been mandated through the court system, community corrections (probation), or Children and Family Services for charges related to intimate partner violence. Where space permits, the program is also available through a self-referral. Participants in the Provincial Family Violence Treatment Program (PFVTP) will engage in comprehensive assessment and treatment services to address factors that contribute to intimate partner violence (IPV). This service is free of cost and offers 12 - 16 week group treatment where clients work with facilitators to explore the underlying causes of IPV and develop strategies to promote healthy relationships. Individual treatment sessions may be available based on client needs. Depending on the community, services may be delivered virtually, in-person, or both. PFVTP is provided by Alberta Health Services and Alberta Health Services contracted service providers in collaboration with community partners such as law enforcement, crown prosecutors, Probation, Children's Services, and victim services as part of a coordinated community response to IPV.
