Men’s Behaviour Change Program

The Men’s Behaviour Change Program (MBCP) supports men wanting to end their use of violence and other problematic behaviours in their relationships.

The program runs over 20 weeks and works with participants in a safe confidential group setting.  It aims to help men address their behaviours, develop an improved sense of self and in the process become better partners and fathers.  A Post Participation Follow Up Program is also offered.

The aim of the program is for men to:

• stop using abusive, violent and controlling behaviours
• accept full responsibility for their actions and behaviours
• manage their intense feelings safely
• develop and maintain nurturing and caring relationships with women and children.
