Some of the Minnesota Guidelines for court-ordered domestic abuse treatment:

• 24 sessions or 36 hours of group treatment is standard, unless probation officers recommend otherwise, or group treatment is deemed to be inappropriate.

• Every program must conduct an individual intake (assessment) session.

• Programs must collaborate with victims and court services to hold offenders accountable for their behavior.

• Marriage, couple or family counseling is not appropriate until an abuser completes court-ordered treatment, or until all violence, intimidation, and coercion end and the victim feels safe to participate.
