Previously known as the Batterers’ Treatment Forum, the North Dakota Alliance to End Partner Abuse (NDAEPA) is a network of domestic violence intervention program providers and allied professionals. The NDAEPA promotes the use of battering intervention standards and coordinates training and mentoring to uphold best practices in domestic violence intervention programming. The NDAEPA seeks to eliminate domestic violence in North Dakota by upholding standards that prioritize the safety of victims, hold offenders accountable, and encourage offenders to change their behavior.

I changed my attitude. How I talk, how I address situations. I wanted to be a better partner and have a better relationship. I also changed for the kids. I wanted to be better for everyone, including myself. My self-esteem is through the roof because of my accountability and willingness to change. I cannot remember the last time I was this happy.

I have learned that violence is not just physical actions, so I have been focusing on the words I use and how I use them. I am becoming a better parent and partner because it is what my family deserves.
