Purpose of the Intervention Program for Men (IPM)

The Intervention Program for Men (IPM) is a 20 week educational program designed to help men learn and apply positive behaviors with their partner and children.  Two facilitators, a man and a woman, lead each group.

How to Participate

Men are either court ordered or volunteer to attend the program.  Men can be court ordered through a civil Order for Protection (OFP) or through a criminal conviction.

To enter the program, men must contact the IPM coordinator and arrange for an intake interview.  Please call 218-326-0388 for more information.
