Domestic Violence Intervention Program

At Harbor House, we believe that ending domestic violence requires a coordinated, community-wide response. Our Domestic Violence Intervention Program supports our vision of a community without domestic abuse by holding individuals using abusive behaviors accountable, prioritizing the safety and empowerment of those affected, and fostering collaboration among advocates, agencies, and systems.

The Domestic Violence Intervention Program office is located at 2277 W. Spencer St. in Appleton. To schedule an assessment, please call (920) 955-9151.

Domestic Violence Assessments

The Intervention Program is certified through the Wisconsin Association of Certified Domestic Violence Professionals (WACDVIP). We provide domestic violence assessments to individuals in Outagamie, Calumet, and surrounding counties. Our Intervention Program receives referrals from a variety of sources including Probation, Court, Child Protection, Family Court, Mental Health Professionals, self-referrals, advocates, family members, and others.

If you are going down the wrong road, you do not need motivation to speed up. What you need is EDUCATION to turn yourself around.

We provide an assessment for all genders, looking at the whole individual.

The purpose of the assessment is to assess lethality, determine supports, challenges, resiliency, and any needs for further programming and services. Through identifying barriers to success, our Intervention Program also makes recommendations for outside services.

We seek to create a change within the community — because we are all responsible for violence

Intervention Education Programming

We offer educational groups that focus on the use of power and control and abuse, values and beliefs, accountability for words and actions, and development of healthy skills and strategies.

Intervention coordinators monitor the participant’s accountability through information sharing and collaboration with advocates, court systems, ex/partner, corrections, and other referring agencies.

We believe in a unified community approach to ending domestic violence.
