A Survey of Intimate Partner Violence Intervention Programs in Saskatchewan, Canada

Extant research demonstrates diversity among intervention program for people who have perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV) in terms of theoretical approach, length, and composition. The present study explores community-based IPV intervention programs delivered in Saskatchewan, Canada, a province with a substantial rural population and a high rate of IPV. Twenty-five professionals representing 11 programs provided details of available IPV interventions in an online survey. Findings provide insight into the characteristics of IPV intervention programs and the experiences of professionals who facilitate these programs, including their observations regarding successful interventions and barriers to completion faced by participants. These findings inform recommendations for policy, practice, and future research.
