Goals for Group Members

Emerge has many goals for people who come to our program. The following are a list of things that we teach during our group sessions. Some group members will have a strong desire not only to learn these things, but to find ways to apply them to their own life, while others may choose not to.

GOALS:

  • Immediately stop physical abuse and intimidation

  • Recognize and describe how you have been harmful toward your partner and family

  • Understand the harms this behavior has caused

  • Develop an understanding of how you have benefited from your behavior in the past and how you can benefit from changing now

  • Work to be open and honest with group leaders and fellow group members

  • Be able to identify ongoing harmful behaviors

  • Be able to stop comparing your behavior with past behavior that was worse.

  • Look at what you need to continue to do to become respectful and non-abusive

  • Participate during group discussions

  • Give feedback to fellow group members

  • Identify what will be the most helpful feedback to hear from others

  • Work to develop empathy and make amends for harms you've caused
