The Tangentyere Men's Behaviour Change Program (MBCP) aims to work towards the safety, well-being, human rights and dignity of women, children and others affected by men's use of violence. It incorporates Element Four of the Northern Territory's Domestic, Family and Sexual Violence Reduction Framework Safe, Respected and Free from Violence and is one of the five key components of the Northern Territory Government ten-year plan to reduce the impact of domestic, family, and sexual violence in our community.

The MBCP offers a groupwork model and space for men who use violence and abuse in their intimate relationships. Our work with men is part of an integrated response, including contact with partners and ex-partners through Women's Safety Services of Central Australia (WoSSCA).
