Domestic abuse is a cycle of behavior that can happen in any racial, ethnic or socio-economic status. Research shows that it happens amongst heterosexuals, gays, low income, high income, black and white communities across the board. In an abusive relationship, one partner tries to control the other by using emotional, physical, sexual or verbal attacks. People who have grown up with domestic violence around them, tend to continue the behavior as adults unless they have received some kind of treatment. If you have inflicted any of the following types of abuse on your intimate partner or family member, you are contributing to an abusive relationship:

• Verbal intimidation
• Threats of harming yourself or your partner
• Isolating your partner from friends and family
• Financial control by not allowing partner access to income
• Physical violence such as hitting, shoving, slapping or kicking
• Stalking
• Monitoring email, voice mail and texts
• Ongoing jealousy

If you recognize yourself in any of these scenarios, it may be time to take action by utilizing the support and skills taught in a Batterer’s Intervention Class. Many of our clients have found themselves in this situation just once and have been legally indicted as a domestic offender. Just yesterday we received a call from an individual who was in an altercation at a bar with an ex-girlfriend. She pushed him out of anger, and he lost it and retaliated with a harder shove that sent her to the ground. This happened in front of witnesses and the police were called in. He was ultimately cited for a domestic violence offense and mandated to take a domestic violence program.

Sound familiar? In this case, the client was able to take a 12 hour domestic violence class online to fulfill the court order for restitution and education. In his situation, he traveled a great deal for business and wasn’t able to get to a weekly in-person class without possibly losing his job. He asked the judge if he could take the course online from his computer during his travels and it was approved.

Online domestic violence classes are a great resource for completing court or legal requirements. They are easily accessible from any of the 50 states, from any computer device connected to the Internet. This means you can be on the road in a hotel in Las Vegas one night, San Francisco the next and back home in Phoenix and not miss a beat. The participant simply logs in for whatever length of time is best for him and the class becomes immediately available on the computer screen in front of him. There’s no limit to the number of times you login and out and the program holds your last spot for you.

Online domestic violence classes cover the same topics you receive in an in-person class in an even more interesting and engaging manner. They alleviate the stress of having to get to a classroom, deal with the personalities of different instructors and of having to make the situation public. An online dv class is a completely private situation in that the only people who need to know that you are taking the class are the judge, your attorney and you.

Have you recently tried to become a U.S. citizen, renew a drivers license or find new employment just to find out that you can’t accomplish your goal because of an outstanding DV warrant. Often times our clients will call in with stories of how a 20 year old offense was recently pulled up and they can’t find the original paperwork to prove they did the domestic violence education, or they’ve moved states and tried to get a new driver’s license only to find out that a battery charge from 1999 is still hovering around.

If this scenario sounds familiar, you can take a domestic violence class online to finally clean up your record and move on with your life. Simply ask your judge, probation officer or attorney if they will approve you taking the class online instead of in-person. There are number of reasons why this will benefit you.

Do you recognize that you have a problem with domestic violence but are resisting getting help? Research suggests that the majority of men who are abusive won’t seek support because of a variety of reasons. First of all, some men grew up in families in which violence was an acceptable practice. They therefore believe that as the head of the household they are entitled to dominate family members with aggression. Furthermore, for some the definition of masculinity includes silence and strength. They think that their current role in the family allows for domestic abuse when they see it’s necessary to keep others in line. Finally, some men don’t get help for domestic violence issues because they are ashamed and embarrassed and don’t want to look weak.

Domestic violence can affect anyone; the rich, the poor, whites, African Americans, Hispanics, the young and the old. There are generally common factors in play for men who abuse loved ones. They can include:

1) The need to control family members with violence and emotional abuse

2) Believe that they have the right to do whatever they want in their own home

3) Believe that a real man should be aggressive and tough

4) Have anger management issues

5) Blame others, stress, alcohol or drugs for their violent behavior

When an individual is ready to take responsibility for his actions, counseling and educational training is highly recommended to learn to stop the behavior. A way of undertaking this domestic violence education that has become more and more popular is via online dv classes. Online class users really like the ability to stay in the privacy and comfort of their own home to initially address the issue. As we mentioned, some men are simply too embarrassed by their lack of control to take the first step towards rehabilitation. An online domestic violence class enables the participant to keep the topic under the radar of outside family and friends. Participants also like that they can take the classes whenever they have free time. Once you enroll in an online dv class, the class is available to you 24/7 on any Internet based computer device like an Ipad, PC, laptop or even Smartphone.

The goal of the program is to teach offenders how their behavior is negatively affecting themselves as well as their partners and how to stop the cycle of violence.

A few times in the past couple of weeks, clients have called in and said that police intervention during recent traffic violations or disturbing the peace have pulled up old, old records that they thought were rectified. In one instance, the client was positive that he had taken an in-person class for a violation over 10 years ago, but the paperwork was never properly filed and it has remained on his records all these years.
