What curriculum does ABC BIP use?
Emotionally Intelligent Mindful Acceptance-Based Program
by Wendy Coates
With a strong emphasis on compassion and mindfulness, EMAP is a psychoeducational workbook for domestic violence groups and a self-help guide for high-conflict couples. Accountability is a tool used to strengthen self-esteem and healthy boundaries. Participants learn to identify and override harmful thinking patterns while healing old wounds. Individuals become vulnerable, transparent, and authentic as they develop an internal locus of control through powerful cognitive restructuring techniques. Readers feel grounded and empowered as they learn to slow down through mindfulness training. Throughout the program, this workbook promotes healthy boundaries, assertiveness skills, conflict resolution, emotional intelligence, empathy, and effective parenting.
