Dear Friends and Colleagues:

Welcome to the new website and presentation from the Domestic Abuse Intervention Programs(DAIP), formerly known as Minnesota Program Development, Inc. We are located in Duluth, Minnesota and are the home of the Coordinated Community Response to Domestic Violence, home of the Duluth Model and originators of the "Wheels" - the Power and Control, Equality Wheels and many approved versions.

We hope you find this site to be informative and inspirational, there is much work to be done to end violence against women and children, and we welcome your efforts, your thoughts and questions. Please return to this page often for updates from DAIP: current events, opportunities to participate, and commentary on the leading domestic violence issues from top experts in the battered women's movement.

We are intent upon taking the essence of the ground breaking work done here in Duluth since 1980 and moving it forward into a new era of social change to end violence against women. We need, want and welcome your support.

Please join us! As executive director, I am excited about the mind and movement expanding opportunities we have as we bring the good works of Duluth to communities of the world and build an "information exchange." I look forward to your friendship!

Most sincerely,

Linda Riddle
Executive Director
