Minnesota criteria
Domestic Abuse Counseling Program Criteria
Minnesota law includes definitions and standards related to domestic abuse and domestic abuse counseling or educational programs. Because each referral situation can be different, APS encourages individuals and referring parties to begin with an intake inquiry so program fit and next steps can be reviewed.
Since Advanced Psychological Services (APS) provides a comprehensive, individualized treatment service for individuals who have experienced difficulties with domestic abuse—rather than a standardized educational course—APS does not issue a formal “completion” or “graduation” designation based on a predetermined number of sessions or hours.
Participants may, however, request documentation of attendance for purposes such as verification of participation, time tracking, or other related needs.
