Center Street, Suite 229, CAsper, WY 82601 (307) 472-2178. She has been trained by Duluth Minnesota Program (the people who brought us the power and control wheel). She educates in the area of Cognitive Intervention Classes, Womens & Men's FVPA, Women's & Men's Anger Management and Criminal Thinking / Thinking for a Change. She is offering a variety of classes in the area of domestic violence: - Women's Agner & Violence Education - Men's Domestic VIolence & Abuse - Men's Anger Management - Thinking for a Change - Advanced Thinking for a Change - Drug & Alcohol Education - Assessments I am planning to use her in a recent DFS case where myclient (the mother) is charged with failure to protect to get the mother some education on how not to be further victimized. Judie also knows the difference between anger management and batterer intervention programs (she does both). It's great to see another resource in the area of domestic violence out there. Also, October is Domestic Violence Month. Jacqueline K. Brown Attorney FAMILY LAW CENTER, LLC P.O.

I think it is great to accumulate information to help make changes at DFS. What can yo tell us about Erin? i.e.Who has appointed Erin to do this? Is she doing it on her own accord? What experience does she already have in the area of DFS and its history? Is she looking at the whole state or just your county? etc. I am willing to give her the benefit of my 25 years of experience. She could at least have that information to add to her assessment. How can I contact her? Is she going to other parts of the State? JEF -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
