Batterers Intervention Program

Satori BIP

The Satori BIP is a state of Kansas, certified Batterer’s Intervention Programs (BIP) operating in the Lawrence/Kansas City area. Satori BIP is committed to supporting individuals who have been identified as having patterns of abuse, and practicing power/control in intimate partner relationships. Abuse takes place in many different forms and does not necessarily have to be physical violence. We encourage participants to understand abusive behaviors are usually carried out over time in a relationship, not just isolated incidents. In short, battering is about the systematic exercise of power and control (normally driven by fear) over another person in relationships.

Over the 25-week course, Satori BIP staff placed an emphasis on teaching folks about distorted views of themselves and their functioning in intimate partner relationships. Group members are asked to explore challenges in their lives that contribute to poor emotional regulation and poor decision-making that contribute to abusive behaviors. Group members are expected to remain accountable throughout this process and during their time in the program. Our staff does this work through a lens of respect, empathy and compassion.
