This short film sheds light on the effects of domestic violence in the home, through the innocent eyes of a child

I didn’t want to do this program, but my wife said if I don’t she is leaving. Over the last 24 weeks, I have learnt more about life in so many ways.

This has been the best thing I have done (apart from getting married). This stuff is real and change is real if you be honest with yourself.

Do it! Initially I thought I was in the wrong place, that there was nothing I could learn from this type of forum-some discussion, some issues seemed not to be relevant. But! Some other components are very worthwhile.

Believe in yourself! It takes guts to admit you have a problem.

He has more controlled and is less angry and sensitive to things I might say, He does not bite back a easily. His coping mechanisms are a lot better.

I have noticed changes in Kevin when having constant support. Reduced yelling which plays a lot with my head.

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.

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

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.
Brett
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.
