The MENS program focuses on behaviour change work for men who have, or are using violent, abusive and/or controlling behaviours within their family relationships.
The program can assist men to develop deeper understanding of family safety, to consider nonviolence, and to practice respectful behaviours towards others.
The program assists men to hold the safety of women and children as a priority.
Entry is via an assessment process where:
- We give men information about the MENS program, including how the groups operate.
- We ask men about the situation, their behaviour/s & what they want to change.
What we offer
MENS behaviour Change group work
The MENS program provides a 20-week behaviour change group work program for men wanting to improve their own behaviour by working on healthy and respectful ways of dealing with conflict and difference.
The weekly sessions provide men with access to information and strategies for choosing respectful behaviours and focusing on family safety and wellbeing.

The MENS program also offers one-to-one case management to men providing support and connection to other relevant services, as required.
