**The program**:
The Men’s Behaviour Change program is funded by Corrections Victoria and the Department of Families, Fairness and Housing to provide services to men to support them to stop using family violence and to be accountable for their behaviour. The program includes Men’s Behaviour Change groups which operate from our offices in the Eastern and Southern regions.

The Men’s Behaviour Change Program provides a comprehensive service to participants and their partners and ex-partners. It consists of two individual intake and needs assessment sessions, possible individual treatment readiness counselling, an exit interview and a minimum of 20 x 2 hour weekly sessions. All family members including ex/partners impacted by the violence of men in the program are contacted by telephone by the partner contact workers.

Group programs have a focus on cognitive psycho-educational, using group participation to reflect on different topics for discussion.

The service meets with ‘No To Violence’ minimum standards.
