CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Rebuild Institute develops comprehensive, evidence-informed domestic violence, intimate partner violence, abuse-intervention, and healthy relationship curricula for organizations, agencies, courts, community programs, and professionals.
We don’t simply create lesson plans.
We develop complete educational and intervention frameworks designed around program purpose, participant population, professional standards, implementation requirements, and applicable state or organizational guidelines.
Whether an organization is developing a new program, replacing outdated curriculum, expanding an existing model, or preparing to pursue state or court approval, Rebuild Institute provides the structure needed to move from an idea to an implementable program.
Education • Certification • Building the curriculum behind stronger domestic violence programs.

STATE-SPECIFIC CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Built Around the Standards Where You Operate.
Domestic violence intervention requirements are not uniform across the United States.
Program duration, required content, facilitator qualifications, documentation, oversight, court relationships, participant requirements, certification processes, and approval standards can differ significantly by jurisdiction.
Rebuild Institute works with organizations to research applicable requirements and develop curriculum aligned to the standards governing their intended program.
Services may include:
✓ State standards review
✓ Curriculum crosswalk and gap analysis
✓ Required-content mapping
✓ Program-hour alignment
✓ Curriculum development or revision
✓ Facilitator documentation
✓ Implementation framework development
Certification-readiness support
Important: Curriculum alignment does not itself guarantee state, court, regulatory, or agency approval. Where approval is required, the organization remains responsible for completing the applicable approval or certification process.
CUSTOM CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT
Your Program. Your Population. Your Framework.
Not every organization needs an off-the-shelf program.
Rebuild Institute develops custom curriculum for organizations that need programming designed around their specific population, service model, jurisdiction, referral source, or organizational mission.
We can develop a curriculum from the ground up or evaluate and rebuild an existing program that no longer meets current needs.
Custom development may include:
✓ Needs assessment
✓ Standards and regulatory research
✓ Curriculum architecture
✓ Learning objectives and competencies
✓ Full session development
✓ Facilitator and participant materials
✓ Assessments and evaluation
✓ Implementation planning
✓ Facilitator preparation
✓ Program documentation
CURRICULUM REVIEW & MODERNIZATION
Your Curriculum Shouldn’t Still Be Operating Like It’s 1983.
Domestic violence knowledge has evolved. Our understanding of coercive control, technology-facilitated abuse, economic abuse, trauma, intersectionality, survivor safety, accountability, children exposed to violence, and patterns of abusive behavior has evolved with it.
Yet many programs continue operating from frameworks that have not meaningfully changed in decades.
Rebuild Institute evaluates existing curricula to identify:
✓ Outdated content
✓ Missing contemporary abuse dynamics
✓ Compliance gaps
✓ Weak accountability language
✓ Inconsistent facilitator guidance
✓ Insufficient participant engagement
✓ Missing evaluation measures
✓ Implementation weaknesses
We then provide recommendations or redesign the curriculum to create a stronger, more relevant and implementable program.
