Program Overview
Schroeder Counseling offers court-approved domestic violence classes online to Illinois residents through live, interactive sessions with licensed DV intervention counselors. Our domestic violence intervention program — also known as a batterer intervention program (BIP) or partner abuse intervention program (PAIP) — addresses the root causes of domestic violence through evidence-based education and behavioral accountability techniques recognized by Illinois courts.
The curriculum is grounded in the Duluth Model and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), covering the dynamics and cycle of domestic violence, power and control patterns, healthy communication and relationship skills, conflict de-escalation techniques, personal accountability and responsibility, safety planning, and building respectful relationships. These are the core competencies that Illinois judges, probation departments, and family courts require.
Whether you've been mandated to complete a domestic violence class by a Illinois criminal court, family court, or as part of a protective order, plea agreement, or probation condition, our program meets all court requirements. We offer flexible program lengths including 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, 36, and 52-hour domestic violence education programs to match your specific court order.
Illinois residents who complete our program receive a professional certificate of completion the same day. The certificate includes your name, program hours, session dates, curriculum description, and our licensed counselor's credentials — all documentation required by Illinois courts, the Department of Corrections, family court judges, and CPS agencies. We also send direct verification to your probation officer upon request.
Referrals to our Illinois program most often come from courts such as Cook County Circuit Court, DuPage County Circuit Court, and Lake County Circuit Court — along with every other criminal, family, and municipal court across the state. Wherever your case is being heard in Illinois, our BIP curriculum and documentation meet the same statewide standard.
We regularly enroll clients from Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Rockford, and Springfield, spanning Cook County, Dupage County, Winnebago County, and Sangamon County, and every other community in Illinois — since every session is live over Zoom, your city or how rural your county is has no bearing on your access to the program or the speed of your certificate.

Yes. Many Illinois courts require completion of a domestic violence intervention program — also called a batterer intervention program (BIP) or partner abuse intervention program (PAIP) — as part of sentencing, probation, plea agreements, or protective order conditions. Our court-approved program is accepted by criminal courts, family courts, and probation departments throughout Illinois.
Program length varies based on your specific court order. Illinois courts typically require between 4 and 52 hours depending on the severity of the charge. Common requirements include 8-hour programs for first-time offenses, 16-hour programs for misdemeanor DV, and 24-52 hour programs for more serious charges.
Yes. Our program is conducted through live, interactive Zoom sessions accessible from anywhere in Illinois. Courts recognize live online sessions with a licensed counselor as equivalent to in-person classes. All sessions maintain the same quality, documentation, and court acceptance as traditional classroom instruction.
A batterer intervention program (BIP) is a court-ordered educational program for individuals charged with or convicted of domestic violence. Our BIP uses the Duluth Model and CBT techniques to address power and control dynamics, teach healthy relationship skills, and build accountability. The program meets all Illinois requirements.

Schroeder Counseling offers affordable domestic violence programs with transparent pricing that scales based on your court-ordered hours. No hidden fees, no registration costs, no surprise charges. We believe court-mandated DV education should be financially accessible to all Illinois residents.
We serve clients throughout Illinois, including Chicago, Aurora, Naperville, Rockford, and Springfield and every other city and town statewide.
