Any program wishing to provide intervention to perpetrators of domestic violence must request certification from the Department of Social and Health Services.
A program may not provide direct intervention services to domestic violence perpetrators without being certified by the department. DSHS considers each geographical location of a program an individual program, and must certify each program separately.
If approved, DSHS grants certification for a two-year period.
