The STOP Program for Women addresses the rapidly increasing awareness of domestic violence perpetrated by women and the need for quality treatment services. These updated worksheets and exercises, fully integrated with the group leaders manual, keep participants actively engaged in overcoming their abusive behaviours.

This second edition includes new sessions on the Five Love Languages, the Stages of Change and Stake in Conformity. Updates throughout the text reflect an increased emphasis on trauma theory, attachment theory, mindfulness techniques and gratitudes. Each session includes questions for reflection which can be used both during a group meeting and as homework, providing structure for recovery within and between sessions. Packaged as loose-leaf sheets, these handouts can be added, removed or rearranged to suit the needs of any leader administering the STOP program.
