Focusing Families

18 week Battering Intervention & Prevention Program. Focusing Families BIPP is accredited and funded by TDCJ-CJAD. BIPP classes consist of groups for family violence offenders, in which offenders are held accountable for past abusive behavior and taught the fundamentals of leading a nonviolent lifestyle. Although BIPPS work directly with offenders, the underlying goal of these programs is to enhance the safety of battered women and their children. Texas Legislators and family violence advocates worked together to form a system that establishes a method through which agencies working with family violence offenders must be accredited as operating in compliance with BIPP guidelines. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice-Community Justice Assistance Division ( TDCJ-CJAD ) is the governing agency for BIPP programs. Focusing Families uses the Parenting with Dignity curriculum. Parenting with Dignity is a sincere and compelling approach to teaching parents how to instill a sense of responsible decision making in their kids. Author Mac Bledsoe, is President and founder of Parenting With Dignity. He is a parent, school teacher, coach and extraordinary public speaker.

Parenting with Dignity teaches parents how to instill a sense of responsible decision making in their kids. This is a positive approach to parenting that is simple, easily understood, applicable in any situation, and incredibly intuitive. Learn how to foster happy, self-directed children with a strong value structure and a sense of accountability for their actions. Discover how to teach your children to act appropriately in different situations, and to be confident in their self worth because they know they have the unconditional love of their parents and belief in themselves. Anger is a common human response experienced by persons of all ages, backgrounds, and education. For some people anger is a serious problem. Anger is often viewed as an immature or uncivilized response to frustration, threat, violation, or loss. Conversely, keeping calm, coolheaded, or turning the other cheek is considered more socially acceptable. This can result in inappropriate expressions of anger such as uncontrolled violent outbursts, misdirected anger or repressing all feelings of anger when it would be an appropriate response to the situation. Anger that is constantly bottled up can lead to persistent violent thoughts or actions, nightmares and even physical symptoms. Our goal is to help individuals learn emotional control skills for living happier, more peaceful and successful lives. Anger management is a process of learning to recognize signs that you're becoming angry, and taking action to calm down and deal with the situation in a positive way. Anger management doesn't try to keep you from feeling anger or holding it in. Anger is a healthy, normal emotion when you know how to express it appropriately.
