Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Abuser Education Program
About 175 people attend Emerge's Abuser Education Program every week. Groups are offered in English, Spanish and Vietnamese, as well as for abusers in same sex relationships (separate groups for lesbians and gay men). The Abuser Education Program is 40 weeks long. About 45% of those attending are court-referred, 35% are self-referred and 20% are referred by the Department of Children and Families or other agencies.
Responsible Fatherhood Program
The Responsible Fatherhood Program is a 12-session parenting education group for men with histories of violence toward their intimate partners. Established in 2002, it was the first parenting program in the nation that is specifically geared for this population. Three groups are offered each year in English and two in Spanish. The goals are to help men, who have already completed an Abuser Education Program and refrained from abuse of their partners, to learn how to rebuild trust with their children and to become more responsive parents.
National Danger Assesement Training Project
With funding from the Office of Violence Against Women at the US Dept. of Justice, Emerge has coordinated this project since 1999. Each year, national trainings are provided in 3 cities. The two day trainings teach police, prosecutors, probation officers and victim advocates how to assess for danger in domestic violence cases and how to manage risk in cases that are found to be high risk.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
By changing individual abusers, Emerge works to empower victims of abuse, create a more safe and healthy environment for children, and prevent future generations of abusers. Emerge also seeks to bolster community awareness and ownership of domestic violence and to improve institutional responses to it.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
Changing Abusers: 40 week group counseling program. Empowering Victims: Continuous outreach, support and referrals for partners of abusers.Promoting safety for children: 12 week Responsible Fatherhood Program. Changing Communities: Provide 2-3 community talks per week. Improve Institutional Responses: Provide continuous trainings to police, courts, child welfare, health care, mental health programs and clergy.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Emerge has five full time and 12 part time staff. One full time staff position is devoted to victim outreach. The job descriptions of all group leaders include their participation in community outreach and education, and collaborations with key partner agencies.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
Emerge is working to achieve more diversified income through bolstering individual donations, foundation grants, and income derived from program fees. We've substantially increased our proportion of support from all these sources over the past two years, and hope to continue to do so.
