ABC 4 Corners - February 2008

The program saved my relationship and my family. In the course men dealt with not just physical abuse but also verbal abuse, their total attitude towards the way they treated other people.

I feel it is a great program and it is great that men can get together and talk over issues affecting men. I like being able to speak freely about my feeling and thoughts with the other guys and I know I am not going to be judged.

Dave, Thanks again for your assistance with my life. I use your techniques in dealing with day to day issues every day.

I seriously recommend it! As someone who cane from a family where a short fuse was vital and communication skills did not exist, I found it it extremely helpful in understanding how hurtful it can be to my family without being physically violent. It has certainly the best thing I have done to get in touch with my self.

Pick up the Bloody phone! It was the best move I ever made!

I am not the alone and I am growing into a better person. I should have done this along time ago.

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 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.

I have noticed that Brian is able to control his temper a lot more, he is a lot more patient, and a much happier person to be around. He also listens to myself and the kids a lot more.

He is much more considerate and I think he may have stopped ‘playing mind’ games with me.
Jodie - Essendon
Well worth it, will strengthen your relationship and help with communication.

Educational for abusive people make them accountable for their actions and what they have to do if they ant a better quality of life.

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.

I was a bit rushed last night filling in the response forms and I feel I probably did not express myself well enough. Firstly a big thankyou to you and Coby for the whole process, but especially for the role playing, I am hopeful that you can come and get your cameras out of my house: the role playing was a very close to the bone experience.

Congratulations! I have been feeling very depressed about the recent coverage of FV and the constant shaming of men. With no exploration of their (our/my) humanity, their lives, or discussion about whether they can be helped, let alone any thought of whether we actually should help these men, or how.
