New Hope Domestic Violence Offender Program-Success Story

“As a first time participant in the New Hope Offender Domestic Abuse Program, I found the weekly session both challenging and informative, not to mention much needed and welcomed.
Various discussion with my peers and instructor lead me to be able to cognizant of things such as: my own emotional intelligence, victim impact, and cognitive skills in regard to anger management.

Through Mrs. Galloway’s in depth, patient and down to earth teaching methods, i have now sharpened my skills utilizing my own emotional intelligence when interacting with my children and partner. Doing so has shown up by me displaying more patience and consideration during my interactions with them. Other life skills such as: showing vulnerability, reconciling my triggers and identifying my core issues, have been essential and helpful to my daily life.

The environment of this program/class was made to feel like a safe place during every meeting as well as a comfortable learning environment, that others in need of this type of help would be greatly benefit from.”
