What would you tell someone whose partner is asking them to do this program and be hesitant about doing it? As long as you are honest with yourself and not afraid of any stigma, the program will change your life. You will develop a close bond with a group of men who want to improve their relationships.

Do it! It’s awesome! You learn more about yourself and how you treat others. It is a wake up call.

He has changed in so many ways – mainly he is respectful towards me and I feel safe with him. I have noticed that he listens to me more, lets me explain how I’m feeling instead of just listening to his.

He is able to deal with a little more pressure than he could before. He does not blow a fuse or erupt as quickly as he used to.

His eyes have begun to open and the defences that blocked communication are crumbling.

He has stopped making everything all about him. He is a better husband because he is more aware of when he starts his abuse and stops very quickly.

Excellent for making men aware of what ‘abusive Behaviour’ actually is and excellent for giving them tools to control their behaviour.

Your partner needs to want to do this program for themselves. Your partner needs to be committed to changing because they themselves want to change.

Self-awareness, self-regulation, strategies for change, education on the cycle of violence. An understanding of how his abuse impacts on his partner and the relationship.
