ABC 4 Corners - February 2008

The program, has provided the following insights for me: “I have choices in life”(we all have life). Behaviour change is up to me.

At this stage I have only done three sessions and I am looking forward to the new term. It can really have a positive affect in every aspect of your life i.

If you are hesitant about the program, we all were! It is not that you have nothing to lose; you have everything to gain-it’s a rewarding time that benefits not only you, but your family and friends. It is a life time changing time that you control if you chose to do so.
Steve - Beaconsfield
How would you describe this course to another person who was thinking of doing it? Do It! It’s a great program for understanding emotions and reactions and how to control them.
Adrian - Brighton
Believe in yourself! It takes guts to admit you have a problem.
Darryl - Pakenham
His eyes have begun to open and the defences that blocked communication are crumbling.
Pia - Burwood
He is calmer now; he still does blow off but will easily walk away and now knows how to manage himself.
Gayleen - Pakenham
This is life changing! It is worth all the time and effort to get to. If you are serious about your family give this a go.

I believe for every woman who finds herself in my situation, which seems never ending, would appreciate their partner doing this course. Baby steps but hopefully with time it will happen.
Kylie - Wonthaggi
Brian has learnt to acknowledge when his anger is building up, and is now able to control it. He has also learnt to see things from mine and others point of view.

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.

My partner has never been physically abusive and I have never feared for my safety. However I was not happy with our relationship.

OMG… Just watched you on sunrise. When you mentioned 'tip-toing' around like on eggs shells, I knew there was something in this for me.

Dear Dave and Jaqui, Watching the documentary tonight really hit home for me. I was in tears when I first watched the trailer and have been every time I have showed it to friends and family, even more tears tonight through the whole film.

The work that he does is brilliant and the way he is tackling the systemic toxic masculinity is vital work. In a primary setting we are not immune from it and see these power imbalance type behaviours being reinforced by dads and ignored or brushed over by mums.
