A New Way
Granite Wellness Centers can help clients to recognize and learn new behaviors. Our “A New Way” program provides a 52-week curriculum specifically addressing patterns of abuse and control.
This program is taught by certified instructors. We give individuals the opportunity to look at and change destructive behavior, so that healthy relationships are built.
Participants in “A New Way” are encouraged to view this program as an opportunity. It is a chance to understand where disrespectful, angry, and controlling behaviors are learned. It also teaches how childhood experiences and societal messages impact individuals.
GWC clients are given the tools to believe that attitudes and behaviors can be changed and that it is possible to visualize “a different you.”
The Philosophy
The safety and well-being of victims is our primary concern at Granite Wellness Centers. Intervention regarding domestic violence always puts the victims first. We are here to offer an alternative to violence through counseling and support.
The Goal
Granite Wellness Centers works to alleviate domestic violence and its effects on families, communities, and the future. The safety of children and partners are at the center of every practice.
A Collaboration
“A New Way” coordinates closely with criminal justice agencies, community involvement, and local domestic violence resource agencies. This collaboration assures that offenders are held accountable and given access to as many resources as possible to end the cycle of power and abuse that they are perpetuating. To be successful, GWC recognizes that work to make changes cannot be accomplished in isolation with the offenders, but only as part of a comprehensive community plan of action.
