for Men
We provide a range of support for men
Our primary programmes for men are group-based and directed towards those who either perpetrate violence or are keen to make positive changes to their behaviours in order to maintain healthy and safe relationships.
We are also able to provide short term counselling to assist men who are currently being abused in their relationship.
In some circumstances we may also offer short term counselling to men who perpetuate violence but this is usually limited to transitioning them into a group based programme.
We’re on a mission to provide valuable help & support
Whatever your circumstances, we are here to help you
Counselling for Men
We provide free short term counselling (between 1-10 sessions) to men who are currently being abused in their relationship. Counselling is provided by a male counsellor who has solid insights into the difficulties experienced by men who are subjected to violence.
We can support male victims in developing a safety plan and, where required, we can also them to accessing assistance in relation to obtaining a protection order.

Men’s Work Non-Violence Programme
Men’s Work is a powerful 17 week group programme designed for men, allowing them to recognise unwanted, controlling or violent patterns of behaviour and to develop positive and personally empowering non-violent ways of thinking, speaking and acting.
Co-facilitated by an experienced male and female team of practitioners, the focus is on personal accountability rather than blame and on supporting men to make conscious choices about how they interact with their families and respond to the world around them.
It is suitable for all men whose behaviour and responses are of concern to themselves, their family or friends.
The group operates on Wednesday evenings and new intakes are conducted each month.
