Failure to attend domestic abuse counseling is a violation of the defendant's probation. Domestic abuse counseling includes issues of power and control, accountability, emotional regulation, or cognitive work addressing errors in thinking. The court may recommend individual or group counseling meeting the requirements of domestic abuse counseling, where available.</span></p><p dir="ltr" class="sadefc543f6664c9a866b40eb4c818896Normal"><span xml:space="preserve" class="sadefc543f6664c9a866b40eb4c818896000000"> </span></p><p dir="ltr" class="sadefc543f6664c9a866b40eb4c818896NoIndent"><span xml:space="preserve" class="sadefc543f6664c9a866b40eb4c818896DefaultParagraphFont-000001">Source: </span><span class="sadefc543f6664c9a866b40eb4c818896SCL">SL 1992, ch 178; SL 2022, ch 82, § 1.</span></p></div></body></html>
