International Review Board (IRB) Approved Research
We have been researching the impact of The Dorey Method™ Program of Integrative Study (formerly The Freedom Legacy) on an individual’s emotional-social functioning since 2012 with great success. The targeted group populations that have been included in this research have been inter- and intra-personal violence (IIPV) victims in several relational environments, such as domestic/family violence, sexual assault, violent crime, and human-trafficked victims. In the future, we hope to take #TheDoreyMethod into the environments of incarceration and recently paroled to research the abusers, male and female, of IIPV.
We believe that IIPV can be broken.
