Promoting Accountability, Safety, and Healing

The Batterer’s Intervention Program is operated by the Native Village of Dot Lake. The culturally grounded accountability and behavior-change initiative is designed to reduce domestic and family violence while strengthening community safety.

The program blends evidence-based intervention approaches with Indigenous values of respect, responsibility, and relational healing. Our approach incorporates structured group sessions, individualized case management, and coordinated referrals to behavioral health and substance-use support services.

The Program

Our BIP’s trauma-informed and psychoeducational methods include:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
  • Solution-focused approaches.
  • Mindfulness-based behavior-change strategies.
  • EMAP (Evidence-Based Model Accountability Program) curriculum.

Participants work through a structured curriculum that may extend up to 40 weeks, supporting meaningful and sustained behavioral transformation while meeting Alaska’s BIP requirements.

Integrated Community Response

This program operates in coordination with:

  • Dot Lake Village Tribal Court.
  • Dot Lake Village Sexual Assault Response Team (SART).
  • TeeJuh Behavioral Health and substance-use services.
  • Regional victim advocacy and service providers.

This coordinated response ensures survivor safety remains the highest priority while providing participants with pathways to accountability, education, and positive change.
