Program Overview
Schroeder Counseling offers court-approved domestic violence classes online to South Dakota 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 South Dakota 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 South Dakota judges, probation departments, and family courts require.
Whether you've been mandated to complete a domestic violence class by a South Dakota 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.
South Dakota 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 South Dakota 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 South Dakota program most often come from courts such as Minnehaha County Circuit Court, Pennington County Circuit Court, and Brown County Circuit Court — along with every other criminal, family, and municipal court across the state. Wherever your case is being heard in South Dakota, our BIP curriculum and documentation meet the same statewide standard.
We regularly enroll clients from Sioux Falls, Rapid City, Aberdeen, Brookings, and Watertown, spanning Lincoln County, Pennington County, Brown County, and Brookings County, and every other community in South Dakota — 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.
