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 lives and relationships. We can help you start building safety, trust, love and respect.

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. We also offer support for current or former partners and others who are affected by abusive behaviours.

What to Expect

This program involves regular one-on-one meetings with your support worker, as well as an 18-session group-based men’s behaviour change program. Facilitators provide a judgement-free opportunity to share challenging experiences, while offering you practical tools to help break cycles of violent behaviour.

We'll work with you to:

01
Challenge your old ways of thinking and behaving, and change to safer ones
02
Learn strategies for dealing with strong emotions
03
Understand what domestic violence is, and how it occurs across different areas of society
04
Connect with others, reducing shame and stigma around your situation
05
Learn how to develop stronger relationships with those around you
06
Feel encouraged and empowered to continue making changes after the group ends
07
Start a safe life for you, your former or current partner, and your children
08
Recognise your strengths and how you can use them to make positive change – for good

“The program had a huge impact. I was not ordered but chose to do it to better understand how to manage my relationships through a difficult time.”

Hands kneading dough.

“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.”
