Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Program for Alleviating Relationship Trauma and Stress through New Behaviors (PARTS-NB)

PARTS-NB (Program For Alleviating Relationship Trauma and Stress through New Behaviors) is a group-based program for people who use violence and aggression in intimate relationships. Phase I is 4-weeks of 120 minutes of weekly group-based sessions focused on clarifying the way parts work in the mind, increasing inner compassion and emotion regulation, and explaining the role of trauma and stress in substance use and the use of violence in relationships. Phase II lasts 8-weeks, maintaining the 120 minutes of weekly group-based sessions. This phase introduces the model and focuses on practicing "unblending," helping individuals gain awareness and acceptance of internal and external experiences. The final phase, Phase III runs 8 weeks and consists of weekly 120-minute group sessions which addresses and releases trauma-based beliefs and experiences through a process called "unburdening."
