Empowered Path: Domestic Violence Intervention
Psycho-Educational Classes for Court-Referred and Self-Referred Individuals
Balance. Growth. Resolution.
About This Program
Empowered Path is Temperantia-KYH’s Domestic Violence Psycho-Educational Program, delivered by Bernell (Ya-iel) Phipps, CDVS-I — a Certified Domestic Violence Specialist through the National Anger Management Association (NAMA).
This program provides domestic violence education and awareness — not clinical psychotherapy or treatment. It is designed to help individuals understand abusive and controlling behaviors, take accountability, and develop healthier relationship patterns.
Empowered Path is available for both court-referred and self-referred participants, offered in individual and group sessions, in person and online.
Domestic Violence Intervention vs. Anger Management
Many people assume domestic violence is simply an anger problem. Court systems and domestic violence intervention standards treat them as related — yet distinct — issues. Empowered Path addresses the root behaviors, not just the emotional reaction.
