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.

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”.

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.

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.

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

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

What did you like most about this program? I like the change I am starting to see in myself and my time with my wife. I want to learn how to communicate better with my whole family to enjoy them more (and vice versa).

He manages his anger. He talks to me about his feelings, which helps him to stay level headed.

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.

A new lease of life. A breath of fresh air in the relationship A reason to be hopeful.

Highly recommend it. It is worthwhile for the entire family, not just for them.

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.

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.

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.
