- What Is A Behaviour Change Program?
The Heavy M.E.T.A.L change program consists of a small number of men, generally not more than twelve, and two trained group therapists a male and female therapist. The purpose of having a female and male facilitator is to be able to demonstrate a role model of equality between the male and female as well as the importance of the female’s perception of the issues discussed around family violence. Both male and female therapists provide a safe as well as challenging place in which to work on behaviour change. Members can discuss perceptions of each other and receive feedback on how they are perceived by others. Therapy groups are different from other groups in that everything that happens in group is confidential; what is talked about or disclosed is not discussed outside the session.
Establishing a level of trust allows group members to talk openly and honestly. Therapists and group members work together to establish trust and commitment to the group.
Please note: Confidentiality is a primary foundation for group process; however we have a duty of care that put limits on that confidentiality. These limits pertain to information regarding to women’s and children’s safety, the participant's safety, other participants' safety, criminal acts or breaches of court orders, and staff safety.
