Domestic Violence Treatment Option Court | Family Service Regina

The Regina Domestic Violence Treatment Option Court provides information and support for individuals affected by domestic violence. This resource helps individuals better understand the court process, available treatment programs, and the supports available to victims.

Domestic violence treatment programs focus on helping individuals recognize and change abusive, controlling, and harmful behaviours. These programs encourage accountability, build self-awareness, and support long-term behavioural change. Participation does not guarantee change, but it offers an opportunity for individuals to take responsibility and develop healthier ways of relating to others.

It is important for individuals experiencing abuse to understand their options and prioritize their safety. Support services are available to help with safety planning, navigating the justice system, and accessing community resources. Individuals can also receive guidance from domestic violence or victim services workers to better understand their situation and available supports.

This resource outlines the differences between abusive and non-abusive behaviours, helping individuals recognize patterns such as control, intimidation, and manipulation, as well as characteristics of respectful and healthy relationships.



Support is available for those impacted by domestic violence, including access to crisis services, police, and community-based organizations. If you are in immediate danger, call 911.
