Men’s Behaviour Change Program

Men’s Behaviour Change Program

Our Men’s Behaviour Change Program provides men who are currently or historically have been abusive and violent in their intimate and family relationships. It is an evidence-based program designed to support individuals to choose healthier and nonviolent behaviours, leading to a respectful relationship.

Family violence is a mix of coercive and controlling behaviours which include physical and non-physical actions toward a current or ex intimate partner and can also involve children, parents and grandparents.

These behaviours have significant impact on Victim Survivors and consequently they may require counselling and medical support.

What is the Men’s Behaviour Change Program (MBCP)?

• The Men’s Behaviour Change Program addresses family violence through interactive conversation for men to better understand themselves and choose not to be abusive and violent.
• A program to support men who want to address their behaviour and are prepared to take necessary responsibility.
• A Family Safety Advocate service is offered to women, children and other family members who have been directly impacted by family violence.

What is MBCP Case Management?

• This is an individualised support service that provides men who want to address their abusive and violent behaviour. It is delivered for a maximum of 16 hrs.
• These behaviours have significant impact on Victim Survivors and consequently they may  require counselling and medical support.
• Some individuals may not be comfortable or able to participate in a group setting, and case management may is a better option for them.
• Case management can also be accessed whilst in an MBCP group where extra support is needed.
