Description
The Partner Abuse Intervention Program (PAIP), administered by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS), funds community-based organizations to deliver structured intervention services for individuals who have engaged in abusive behavior in intimate partner relationships. The program’s primary goals are to promote behavioral change, prevent future abuse, and enhance the safety and well-being of survivors and families through evidence-based practices and community collaboration. PAIPs provide group-based education, skill-building, and accountability for court-ordered or voluntary participants who are primary aggressors in intimate partner violence cases.
