Summary
This study tested a group-based program called PARTS-IPV for people court-ordered to attend treatment after using violence with a partner. The program focuses on understanding trauma, managing emotions, and reducing substance use. Sixteen male-identifying participants took part to see if the program was feasible and acceptable. The goal is to help people change violent behaviors by addressing underlying stress and trauma.

What this could lead to
If successful, this program could provide a new way to help people stop using violence in relationships by addressing trauma and stress.
What could go wrong
This is a very small, completed feasibility study with only 16 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The program requires court-mandated attendance, which may affect participation.
