About the program:

The Men's Project is an initiative of Jesuit Social Services launched in 2017.

It provides leadership on the reduction of violence and other harmful behaviours prevalent among boys and men, and builds approaches to improve their wellbeing and keep families and communities safe.

Our vision is for engaged men, respectful relationships and safe communities.

We aim to achieve this by:

  • research to better understand the attitudes and behaviours of boys and young men
- promoting positive change related to gender norms and what it means to be a man in the 21st century and
- designing, piloting and evaluating interventions that intervene earlier to fill crucial gaps in the services system including related to adolescent family violence and child sexual abuse prevention

The Men's Project builds on Jesuit Social Services' over 45-year engagement with boys and men in trouble.

Drawing on this history, The Men's Project is leading innovative work to reduce violence, to improve the wellbeing of boys and men, and to keep families and communities safe.
