New Hope Counseling Center offers a Batterer's Intervention & Prevention Program to those in need in the Texas Hill Country and surrounding areas.
New Hope's BIPP Program is an Accredited Program under the State of Texas's CJAD guidelines, #133-008.
You do not have to be on probation or have a domestic violence offense record to attend BIPP if you believe that you can benefit from the lessons taught in this group.
Utilizing a group setting and honest accountability, BIPP programs look to address the causes and learned behaviors that lead to domestic violence.
We offer two classes: one directed at men whose victims have been women, and one directed at women whose victims have been men. The criteria and course schedule for both classes are the same.
To participate in New Hope's BIPP program, individuals must attend an Orientation session.
Individuals must complete the 18-week course to complete the program requirements according to the State guidelines.
Orientation sessions are $60, and each class is $25.
Missed classes are $10, and individuals are only permitted to miss two classes before their participation is terminated.
Community Counselors help people who are uninsured, whose existing coverage does not provide mental health services benefits, who are low-income and lack the money to pay for counseling services, or who would not receive treatment any other way.
Counseling services are provided by trained, licensed professional counselors, licensed clinical social workers, and licensed marriage and family counselors. Sessions are private and conducted in a safe and familiar environment such as churches and community centers.
Must qualify based on household income and the number of people in the household.
The first meeting with a counselor is free. A modest fee based on a sliding fee scale is collected for each follow-up session; however, no one is denied service because they cannot pay.
We offer compassionate counseling covering a wide variety of matters.
As an outpatient mental health clinic, our services are inclusive of individuals of all ages, couples in any type of relationship, and families of all shapes and sizes.
