Step Up to Family Safety is an innovative non-profit organization dedicated to ending the pandemic of domestic violence. Step Up has brought together experts in batterer intervention, social sciences, survivor services, research, and family dynamics to take a proactive approach to reducing interpersonal violence.Step Up's philosophy is to work with perpetrators of domestic violence to instill alternative behaviors to physical and non-physical violence. Using the knowledge gleaned from this work, along with the latest research, Step Up is going to the next level - reaching potential perpetrators before they begin to abuse. A compassionate society must always be ready and willing to support victims and rehabilitate perpetrators, but a healthy society must strive to change the culture that implicitly - and often explicitly - encourages and celebrates abuse.
