The Capelli Group BIPP
The Capelli Group, LLC is TDCJ-CJAD accredited as a Battering Intervention and Prevention Program (BIPP) that provides educational services to men and women who have been violent, abusive, and/or controlling in their intimate family relationships. The four phases of BIPP are available in both Spanish and English. The Capelli Group, LLC Battering Intervention & Prevention Program (BIPP) teaches batterers how to recognize abuse, accountability, and change their violent behaviors.
The Capelli Group, LLC BIPP is fully accredited by the State of Texas Department of Criminal Justice Assistance Division.
Recognize, accept responsibility for, and end your domestic abuse behaviors
BIPP accreditation guidelines
- Referral sources (such as probation officers) and partners and/or victims are notified about participant enrollment in, and exit from BIPP.
- Progress reports on court-mandated participants are mailed to the referral source on a monthly basis.
- The Capelli Group, LLC advises against couples counseling until the abusive party has completed an appropriate intervention program and the other partner feels safe to participate. Couples counseling requires that both parties feel safe to divulge information, to talk about feelings and their perceptions, and seek help with identified problems. In a domestic violence situation, the need for safety is compromised, making couples' work ineffective and in many cases, even dangerous.
- The Capelli Group, LLC Battering Intervention and Prevention Program is a program of help and change based on accountability. There are many individuals who have battered those who love them the most, but there are only a few that have the courage to admit they have a problem and take responsibility for choosing non-violence in the future.

Requirements:
- All participants are required to remove all firearms from the homes during their participation in the program.
- Each participant MUST sign a release of information that allows BIPP to have contact with his victim as well as his referral source.
- Victims are notified about the participant's enrollment in, and exit from, BIPP.
- Progress reports on court-mandated participants are mailed to the referral source on a monthly basis.
- Each participant must read, sign, and adhere to The Capelli Group Rules, please review BIPP Group Rules and Program Regulations.
What to expect:
BIPP is not an anger management program. The program curricula address some anger management issues and teach some anger management skills, but it is much more comprehensive in its approach. The curriculum addresses socio-cultural issues, particularly regarding gender and violence, teaches and develops critical thinking skills, and includes therapeutic topic elements, such as empathy, accountability, and communication.
Some courts are requiring both BIPP Classes and Anger Management Classes, we offer both courses that will best fit your scheduled needs
