Hello David,
Jeffrie K. Cape MSSA, LMSW, ACSW, CAADC and David J. H. Garvin MSW, LMSW are known for their work with BISC-MI (Battering Intervention Services Coalition of Michigan) which has provided cutting edge trainings specifically for battering intervention programs for over 25 years. Combining their extensive experience in direct practice with their expertise in creating high quality conferences this training highlights the Conceptual Clarity model they developed.
Jeffrie and David have been engaged in battering intervention programming for over 65 combined years. Together they have trained in over 22 states and in Canada. They have consulted with urban and rural communities, not for profit and for profit organizations of various sizes at differing stages of battering intervention program development, court systems, jails, prisons, and homeless shelters, about building programming that is responsive to their community’s needs.
This training is for both those who have an intervention model/curriculum as well as for those who are seeking an intervention model.
This training will focus on conceptual clarity which can be applied to any curriculum. Using extensive examples from our model which uses the stages of change concepts in its implementation. Training participants will have an opportunity to learn key assignments and develop an understanding the concepts of conceptual clarity in application to working with men who batter, abuse, and cause harm.
This training is being provided intentionally on a virtual platform
to make it accessible and affordable to individuals and programs everywhere.

Next Level BIP: Around the country there is increasing interest in creating meaningful change in men who batter, abuse, and cause harm. This training will help you create or refine a BIP that is comprehensive, clear, and customized to your organization and community. This training is what you need to enhance your credibility in your community.
This 3-day training is foundational and will provide an opportunity for the most seasoned facilitators to broaden the scope of their program and enhance their awareness and skills.
The Conceptual Clarity Model is derived from a deep analysis of a progression from awareness to the cessation of harm and the presence of integrity. Developing an understanding of accountability, so that program participants connect their actions with integrity, respect, and honor. By operationalizing accountability, we promote meaningful conversations and reflection about accountability on an individual level. This model presumes competence and the capacity to change for each program participant.
Based on the concept of “beginning with the end in mind”; we must have a searing and accurate analysis of the etiology of battering to effectively intervene with those who batter, abuse, and cause harm. We must fully comprehend WHY and HOW he has chosen to utilize this behavior. Simply knowing the right answers to this question is no longer sufficient. Having absolute conceptual clarity regarding the full etiology of this decisive behavior is critical to providing strategic and meaningful intervention.
Drawing on decades of experience in training staff, curriculum, and program development we will illustrate specific strategies and tools designed to augment and enhance the work you are doing with those who batter, abuse, and cause harm.
This training will explore the latest stages model of intervention programs for men who batter, abuse, and cause harm as either an integrated model or a module program. We will highlight the major components of this model along with implementation strategies that can accommodate anyone from a sole practitioner to a large agency.
Throughout the training, we will include discussion on building specific tools, strategic use of technology, documentation strategies, and building strong community partnerships. A portion of the training will be on identifying and building community partnerships, infrastructure and framework for administrative program design and function. This training will also focus on staff development, reporting, community relationships, and fiscal viability.
Trauma Informed Statement: From its inception HEAL recognized that trauma can be a factor in the lives of participants in the program and intentionally made space to address it. Sometimes it is past trauma and other times the trauma occurs while the participant is in the program. While trauma does not cause individuals to be abusive hurtful or harmful to others, the effects of it may influence how/when someone is abusive, their beliefs and/or their ability to move forward. Therefore, HEAL is designed to create an environment of safety where these issues may be disclosed and/or addressed. Facilitators are trained to recognize these issues, be supportive and encourage referral to appropriate counseling/resources when indicated. HEAL facilitators are trained to be aware of the boundaries of the program and their role when these issues present. Skills of sensitivity, compassion, reframing and respect are highlighted. Since the groups are integrated this is an ongoing process and is addressed on an individualized basis as issues are identified. Additionally, HEAL is sensitive to and addresses pejorative language or actions from participants that might inhibit someone from disclosing.
