DVIP Safe Voices operates the largest certified Domestic Violence Intervention Program (CDVIP or DVIP) for offenders in Maine. This educational program provides an opportunity for men who choose abusive behaviors to learn new ways of thinking, acting, and behaving in relationships. DVIP elevates accountability while offering the opportunity for abusers to change the beliefs that drive them to use violence and control in relationships. Weekly DVIP classes are facilitated with the aim of creatively fostering active participation among the program participants.
