ABOUT ALLIES IN CHANGE Allies in Change is a non-profit mental health agency and social activist organization with three locations in the Portland tri-county area.

3 ABOUT ALLIES IN CHANGE Allies in Change is a non-profit mental health agency and social activist organization with three locations in the Portland tri-county area. We offer 31 weekly abuse intervention groups to help perpetrators of domestic violence recognize and address issues of power and control and cease continued abusive behavior. Some of our groups are specialized for men who are emotionally intense, abusive fathers, sexually abusive, criminally or psychopathically orientated, or voluntarily seeking help with abusive behaviors. We also offer groups for women dealing with anger and abuse perpetration. Additionally, our staff volunteers time to participate in speaking engagements on issues relating to domestic violence in order to further community involvement and awareness. Beyond our domestic violence work, we offer individual and couples counseling to men and women with focus areas including depression, anxiety, managing emotions, and improving interpersonal relationships. ABOUT THE PRESENTER Christopher Huffine, Psy.D., is a licensed psychologist who has worked in the domestic violence field for 25 years. In that time, he has worked with over a thousand abusive men, dozens of abused women, and a number of non-aggressive male victims of domestic violence. He founded Allies in Change Counseling Center in September of He presently co-facilitates three groups a week for abusive men. He is a member of the advisory group to the state Attorney General to establish batterer intervention standards in the state of Oregon, as well as the Oregon Domestic Violence Fatality Review Team. He regularly speaks about domestic violence and abusive men. ABOUT THE ALLIES IN CHANGE CURRICULUM The Allies in Change curriculum for working with abusive men is integrative in two different senses of the word. First, it incorporates and builds upon evidence based and theoretically informed practices from a number of models including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, the Duluth curriculum, risk/needs/ responsivity, feminist theory, and the writings of John Gottman, Terrence Real, and Patricia Evans, among others. It incorporates these into a comprehensive, sophisticated and nuanced analysis of what causes and can help stop abusive behavior that provides a more individualized intervention to this work rather than a one size fits all approach. It does this by helping abusive men become more integrative--within themselves, with others, and within their closest relationships. It accomplishes this by identifying and changing underlying pro-abuse beliefs while also teaching additional self-awareness, self-management, and interpersonal skills. It is designed to work closely with others who may be involved with the abusive man including his partner, the courts, probation, child welfare, mental health professionals, and others who may be providing his victim support and services such as victim advocates and mental health providers. This curriculum has been evolving for over thirty years with constructive input from dozens of professionals who have used it with thousands of abusive men.
