The CARE Method is a research-informed, trauma-informed domestic violence intervention curriculum designed to move treatment beyond attendance and toward meaningful, long-lasting behavioral change. Rooted in the Risk-Need-Responsivity model and integrating cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and person-centered counseling, it recognizes that clients do not enter treatment with the same risks, needs, experiences, or barriers to change. The curriculum combines clear expectations for accountability with individualized attention to trauma, mental health, substance use, culture, relationships, parenting, emotional regulation, and other factors that may contribute to harmful behavior. Through structured client workbooks and comprehensive counselor manuals, The CARE Method equips participants to understand their patterns, recognize the impact of their choices, develop safer responses, and build healthier relationships—while supporting clinicians in delivering treatment that remains focused on victim safety, engagement, and measurable growth.

The CARE Method: Client Workbook for Female Clients
The CARE Method Client Workbook for Female Clients provides a gender-responsive and trauma-informed approach to domestic violence intervention.

The workbook therefore encourages contextual analysis of what occurred before, during, and after harmful behavior, including its purpose, impact, and contributing circumstances. It helps women pursue accountability and healing while developing emotional regulation, boundaries, communication, self-awareness, and safer relationship skills.
