HEAL is a self-paced, 52-session batterer intervention program for men.  

These webinars give an overview of the HEAL program design - Acknowledgement, Cornerstones, Challenge, and Sankofa.  The intention of these webinars is to serve as an introduction and compliment an in-person training by Jeffrie Cape, provided by the New Mexico Coalition Against Domestic Violence on a regular basis since 2012.



This is the online companion to the in person course with Lisa Larance.
