The major initiative of Christine Ann's Offender Intervention Program is A.T.A.M. or Alternatives and Treatment for Abusive Men, a 44-week cognitive behavioral treatment program designed to specifically work with domestic violence offenders.
The A.T.A.M. program holds batterers accountable for their violent and abusive choices. It teaches batterers to recognize how their abusive behavior affects their partners and children and to practice alternatives to abusive behaviors. Honesty and accountability are the foundations of this program. In addition to A.T.A.M., the program provides individual assessments of domestic violence perpetrators. The Offender Intervention Program also offers a companion program for female offenders called Choices and Consequences.
The overall goal of the program is to enhance the quality of life for domestic violence victims by changing the attitudes and behaviors of batterers through intervention and treatment.
