Class participants can expect engaging weekly activities and conversations about intimate partner violence (IPV). Discussion topics include the following topics: the root causes of IPV, responsibility and accountability, healing trauma, the effects of intimate partner violence, and tools for respectful relationships.
Classes are offered weekly on Thursday evenings from 6:30pm to 8pm.
Fees for the class are on a sliding scale. Call (404) 997-3496 to enroll or to get more information.
Self-Referrals & Community Initiated Interventions
Too often the choices for intervention feel limited to either calling the police or doing nothing. Our experience has taught us that there are many more safe and effective options that support the needs and wants of people experiencing abuse.
GCM IPV Transformational Support seeks to intervene early in cases of IPV. Often, tactics of IPV escalate over time. Paired with community based education and prevention programming, like the GCM… , early interventions create safer, more resilient communities and increase the safety of all parties(citation).

The Shift is a second early intervention option for men who may be causing harm in their intimate relationships. The Shift strengthens bonds between participants, encourages exploration of participants’ past harms, both experienced and perpetrated, and seeks to prevent future harms, against self and others, through utilizing a stronger support network and practicing new skills.
