A day for families of offenders in the GDC system- Family Violence Intervention Program
GCFV and the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) establish standards for Family Violence Intervention Programs (FVIPs) in Georgia. GCFV also assists GDC in training, certifying and monitoring FVIPs. Certified FVIPs are designed to rehabilitate family violence offenders and are charged with prioritizing victim safety and participant accountability. Judges, prosecutors, probation, and victim advocates initiated the FVIP certification process to create consistency and accountability for FVIPs. Family Violence Intervention is NOT Anger Management.
