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.

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

Definitely give it a go as you don’t know what you really like in yourself until you things pointed out to you. Good to join in discussion with others who are in the “same boat”.

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.

Believe in yourself! It takes guts to admit you have a problem.
Darryl - Pakenham
He manages his anger. He talks to me about his feelings, which helps him to stay level headed.

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.

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.

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.

Very good, positive influence helps you evaluate yourself and your situation.
Leanne - Port Melbourne
If they are ready to do it, it is a life changing experience. The change was unbelievably fast and has continued.
Sandra - Ferntree Gully
Excellent for making men aware of what ‘abusive Behaviour’ actually is and excellent for giving them tools to control their behaviour.
Jenny - Officer
Hi Dave, It has been many years since I did your course and saw you on ABC tonight. In those days I was seeing my kids every second weekend and was struggling with anger.

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.
