Creating Accountability. Promoting Safety. Supporting Change.

The Rose Project’s Abuse Intervention Program (AIP) is a certified 26–52-week educational program designed for individuals referred by the courts, probation, or the Department of Child Services (DCS) who have engaged in abusive or controlling behaviors within intimate or family relationships.
 

Our program uses the Allies for Change Curriculum, an evidence-based model that promotes personal accountability, empathy, and the development of nonviolent, respectful relationships. The Rose Project is a certified provider through the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV) and operates in compliance with Indiana Code 35-50-9-1, ensuring our services meet state standards for Batterers Intervention and Prevention Programs.

​

Purpose and Philosophy

The Abuse Intervention Program is not a punishment — it’s an opportunity for transformation. Participants are guided to recognize harmful behaviors, understand their impact, and learn new, nonviolent ways of relating to partners, family members, and the broader community.

​

Our philosophy centers on the belief that change is possible when accountability meets compassion. We help participants move beyond denial and blame to take responsibility for their actions, rebuild trust, and create safer environments for everyone involved.

​
