Possibly not — and we'd rather tell you before you pay. Arkansas has no statute requiring a certified domestic-violence program for every DV case, but in practice, judges, prosecutors, and probation officers commonly route domestic-violence cases to a Domestic Violence Intervention Program (DVIP) — formerly called a Batterer Intervention Program — accredited by the Arkansas Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ACADV). ACADV's own guidance is explicit that general anger-management classes are not a substitute: domestic violence is treated as a pattern of power and control, not an emotional-regulation problem, and ACADV-accredited DVIP providers recommend a minimum of 26 weekly sessions, delivered in person. This class is not that program, and we don't want to sell it to you as one.
If your order, your prosecutor, or your probation officer names domestic violence, batterer intervention, or a DVIP specifically, confirm the exact requirement before you enroll anywhere — with us or with anyone else. If your order simply says "anger management" and doesn't reference domestic violence, this class is built for exactly that, and if you'd like a second pair of eyes on the wording first, contact our support team.
