Over 16 weeks last year, independent film-maker Sophie Wiesner chronicled the men involved in the group Heavy METAL – short for Men’s Education Towards Anger and Life.

The documentary focuses on three men in particular – each a father and perpetrator of violence – and their families.

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.

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.

Encourage them to do it. They will get a lot out of this program.

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.

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

He has continued to control is anger. It has now been 20 weeks without holes in the wall.
Sandra - Ferntree Gully
Deals with situations more rationally.

He is calmer now; he still does blow off but will easily walk away and now knows how to manage himself.
Gayleen - Pakenham
It is an ideal vehicle for making men to live up to their responsibilities.
Mary - Wantirna
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
This course requires commitment from any person wanting to do it. It requires commitment to change.

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.

We had tried everything before this program; my husband had seen counsellors, psychologists, doctors and nothing worked. He went to another program which was a lot closer to where we lived and was half the price but after 5 weeks he was complaining how boring it was and how he wasn’t getting anything out of it.

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.
