Monroe Court Program Works to Rewire Domestic Violence Offenders - Published by Tribune | Written by Amy Gilbert McGrath
At CCI, our mission is to transform lives, strengthen families, and restore communities through evidence-based rehabilitation programs like our Moral Reconation Therapy- MRT® DV Training.
That mission is at work in Monroe Municipal Court, where Moral Reconation Therapy- MRT® DV is helping domestic violence individuals involved in the justice system confront destructive patterns and build new tools for healthier relationships. Through structured cognitive-behavioral exercises, participants examine power, control, and decision- making —learning strategies to replace violent reactions with accountability and self-control.
With growing success, including seven graduates in 2024, Monroe’s Moral Reconation Therapy- MRT® DV program shows how treatment can reduce reconviction rates and provide a low-cost, impactful option for courts and communities. Judges, probation counselors, and participants alike see the results: restored sobriety, stronger self-awareness, and real opportunities to break cycles of violence.
It’s a model proving that real change is possible even in the most challenging cases. The question is—how many more communities could benefit if Moral Reconation Therapy- MRT® DV were expanded nationwide? Read more by clicking the link below!
Washington Supreme Court Gender and Justice Commission (GJC) conducted a three-year study on DV-MRT in partnership with Washington State University and published findings in 2021
Dr. Amelie Pedneault wrote in the study’s summary that “the DV-MRT program appears to increase public safety in preventing the reoccurrence of DV crimes committed in the short-term by court-involved individuals. This makes court-sponsored DV-MRT a promising program considering its much lower costs compared to traditional DV treatment.” Read the entire study by clicking the link below!
