Do you struggle with abusive behaviors? Empower Tehama can help.
All couples have disagreements at times, but if you often find yourself regretting the way you treat the people you care about, it might be time to seek help. It's not an easy thing to talk about, and we commend you for visiting this page to look for a solution. Abusive behaviors are not innate – they are learned. This means they can be unlearned and replaced with healthier, more constructive ways of relating to both others and yourself. Empower Tehama provides a judgement-free space to dig beneath the surface, confront the difficult truths, and take meaningful steps towards positive change.
How you came to seek help doesn't really matter. What matters is that you're here.
Keep moving forward.
Perspectives Program
Empower Tehama's Perspectives program is designed to allow individuals struggling with abusive behaviors to discover tools for handling stress and address issues that influence their relationships. Perspectives uses an evidence-based, cognitive skills program with two components: Coping with Anger, and Untangling Relationships.

An assessment fee of $20 is due for individuals voluntarily enrolling in Perspectives, with a fee of $10 for each class. Be prepared to show proof of income and complete an Income Determination form when you register.
