appropriately addresses the treatment needs of the individual. The intake

must make reasonable efforts to contact the victim. The defendant must sign
privacy releases for the evaluator to obtain any confidential information that

accountable for his or her behavior. The treatment must include education
about the individual, family, and cultural dynamics of domestic violence.
Treatment must include education about the effects of domestic violence on
children. The defendant must sign privacy releases for the treatment
provider to obtain any confidential information that is necessary to the
treatment. The defendant must also sign a release for the treatment provider
to provide information to the Prosecutor or probation office in order to
monitor compliance with the Court order.
(b)
In the Court’s discretion, order any other lawful relief as it deems necessary for the
protection of any claimed, alleged or potential victim of domestic violence or family
violence, including orders or directives to the Quinault Police Department. […] 12.06.325
