The mission of GRIP is to create the personal and systemic change to turn violence and suffering into opportunities for learning and healing. The focus of work is the prison system.The Guiding Rage Into Power (GRIP) program is an evidence-based methodology developed over 24 years of work with thousands of incarcerated people and many victims/survivors. The program is a trauma-informed model that integrates neuroscientific research with therapeutic methodologies, and is rooted in principles of Restorative Justice. It offers students an in-depth journey that transforms violent behavior into an attitude of emotional intelligence that prevents re-victimization. The year-long program helps participants to comprehend the origins of their violence and develop the skills to track and manage strong impulses before they are acted out in destructive ways.
