- Abuse Awareness and Accountability
Each year we grant Top Non-Profit Badges to agencies based on these criteria:
- Consistently accepting clients
- Offering a wide range of services e.g. marriage counseling and child counseling as reported by our users.
- Our users reporting affordable services.
Our aim is to guide our users to agencies most likely to be able to help. In addition to the above criteria we also exercise editorial discretion with our choice based upon our experience. We take our responsibility and objectivity seriously. We don't accept any form of payment from providers for this honor.
Abuse Awareness and Accountability
Abuse Awareness and Accountability formerly Character Restoration is a highly specialized Behavior Awareness and Modification program that began over 20 years ago as a domestic violence Batterers Intervention Program (BIP). We are certified by the Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence (ICADV) and will always remain in compliance with Indiana Code 35.50.9.1.
Our Evidenced Based classes are specially designed to provide the most safe and accountable intervention to end all levels of abusive behavior; not simply physical abuse. We challenge verbal abuse, mental abuse, emotional abuse, child abuse, economic abuse, spiritual abuse, addictions and many other forms of abuse.
As a Batterers Intervention Program (BIP) we are advocates for victims of violence, who happen to work with people who abuse. We are a community partner dedicated to ensure the welfare and safety of those who are abused as our first priority. We collaborate with other community partners and promote coordinated community responses to establish accountability for people who use physical violence and other types of abusive behavior to acquire coercive power and control over others.
Most of our day to day work is conducting classes for these men and women. We are not a general mental health or counseling agency throwing together a quick anger management program. We are very specialized and highly trained in the research driven, evidenced based policies, protocols, procedures, and curriculum we use to engage program participants in a positive manner to promote a successful process of change.
We are still providing regular classes from different locations, please contact our office for more details.

Qualifying for assistance from Indiana's program usually depends on the severity of your condition and financial circumstance. Read our full guide to Indiana's program.
A community counseling agency is a group therapy practice that offers affordable mental health services. Most are independent non-profit agencies, state agencies, or publicly-funded agencies. A few may restrict who is eligible for services, so it is a good idea to check when you call.
Community counseling agencies are generally more affordable than other therapy providers, but how much more affordable they are will depend on whether you qualify for a discount or sliding scale fee (or if they accept your insurance). Many, but not all, have a policy that they won't turn away anyone due to inability to pay. You should ask about their fees when you first call.
Expect to talk to kind people who want to help you find the care you need. Most community agencies strive to connect you with a live person within 24 hours, if not immediately. If you're asked to hold or leave a message, don't give up; just leave a message and wait. You should hear back pretty quickly.
Most agencies try to set up an initial assessment appointment within a week (some do within 24 hours), though the waitlist to start therapy is usually longer—about a few weeks on average. If you're not eligible or if the agency is not right for you, it's usually still worth it to call or drop in, because staff are knowledgeable about local options and can often refer you to one.
