Beyond Violence: A Prevention Program for Women is a forty-hour, evidence-based, gender-responsive, trauma-informed treatment program specifically developed for women who have committed a violent crime and are incarcerated.

This book is dedicated to the women incarcerated for violent crimes who courageously shared their life stories with me. Listening to them gave me a greater understanding of the complexities of their lives. They are all survivors of abuse, and they are the inspiration for this work.
