During this counseling the staff focus primarily on thoroughly mapping the client’s situation and aiding the client with basic orientation, for example, in the issue of being removed from a household by court order, the welfare system, and other possible solutions in cases where they lose employment or housing; we also refer them to other appropriate services and professionals as becomes necessary.

In individual therapy the client visits a therapist on his own. Initially this involves mapping the situation in which the client finds himself. As part of the sessions, the client reviews the problem he has encountered. and issues arise through which the therapist guides the client toward an understanding of the causes of his violent behavior and subsequently what the solution to that behavior is. The therapist encourages the client not only during his search for a way forward, but also in finding the strength to implement positive changes. During the meetings the client learns anger management techniques and practices them in specific situations where he could get into trouble. The client ultimately masters methods for constructively resolving disputes.

If a client attends individual therapy and it seems that it would beneficial for him to work in a group of people with the same difficulties, his therapist will recommend group therapy to him. Individual therapy always precedes group therapy.
