Because Wanting to Stop is NOT Enough
Founded in 1977, Emerge was the 1st abuser education program in the U.S. Emerge has been a national leader in working to end violence in intimate relationships.
Emerge seeks to educate individual abusers, prevent people from learning to accept violence in their relationships, and raise awareness about the causes and solutions to partner violence.
Emerge teaches that domestic violence is a learned behavior, not a disease or a sickness. Emerge supports grassroots, institutional and cultural efforts to stop partner violence, sexual assault and child abuse. Emerge recognizes that other oppressive life circumstances such as racism, poverty and homophobia create a climate that contributes to partner violence.
