DOMESTIC VIOLENCE EVALUATION

The Domestic  Violence Evaluation is a screening tool established by the state of  Florida designed to identify the treatment needs and sources of risk  for continued violence against intimate partners of individuals  entering Batterer Intervention Programs. It is composed of a  structured interview examining the documented domestic violence  incident, social, criminal, medical, employment, and family history  of the individual, as well as a mental status examination. Based on  the results from this evaluation individuals are recommended to one of three levels of treatment available in the community.
