Taking Responsibility

This program, designed for men, aims to reduce the incidence of domestic violence in communities around NSW. Our facilitators provide tools to develop positive and safe relationships, while supporting men to eliminate violent behaviour cycles.

Overview

Who It's For

This program is for men looking to overcome a history of violent behaviour and who want to make positive changes in their behaviour, and lives. It also provides support for current/former partners and others who are affected by the abusive behaviours.

How We Help

Our facilitators help participants understand the causes of violent behaviour and habits. This supports men in their efforts to stop hurting the people they love.

What to Expect

Our weekly meetings include eight to 12 participants. Facilitators provide a judgement-free opportunity to share challenging experiences, while providing tools to help break cycles of violent behaviour.

“Our family would not be in the shape we are now had we not had this experience and support. Taking Responsibility provided a positive, proactive pathway for us all to recover and rebuild our lives after horrific trauma. I wish everyone in a family violence situation could access and benefit from this course and the support services around it. Thank you.”
