What happens after referral to the SAIF program?
Upon receiving a referral for SAIF (Stop Abuse for Individuals & Families) programming, Restorative Services uses a screening process to assess eligibility criteria. Once the referral is processed, staff will contact the client directly to schedule an Intimate Partner Domestic Violence Risk Assessment. This assessment is grounded in evidence-based and actuarial principles and provides a comprehensive evaluation of the client’s risk for repeated domestic incidents.
Following completion of the risk assessment, results and treatment recommendations are shared with the referring agency. Based on the assessment, clients are identified as Level I or Level II risk. Risk scores, prior domestic violence history, and other relevant factors are considered when determining the most appropriate level of intervention.
Restorative Services is committed to a thoughtful, data-informed assessment process that supports appropriate recommendations and promotes safer, healthier relationships.
Level I
Typically recommended for individuals with a risk score of 0–5
Intimate Partner Domestic Violence Men’s Group (8 weeks)

Level II
Typically recommended for individuals with a higher risk score or a prior domestic violence history
Intimate Partner Domestic Violence Men’s Group (18 weeks)
Participants engage in a more intensive intervention program designed to address higher-risk behaviors, strengthen accountability, and reduce the likelihood of future violence.
