| Services offered include: | The goal of the group is to help men stop their violent, abusive and controlling behaviours towards their partners. This is done in an educational group setting. Catholic Family Services offers a weekly class (2 hours each week) in which a man, with the help of other men and women can: acknowledge the violence, abuse and controls that occurs; attempt to understand the reasons for the abusive behaviours; increase responsibility for ones own behaviour; develop and implement alternative behaviours; develop more effective and non-abusive communication skills; experience support from other men. Phase II is a smaller, closed group meeting once a week for 2 hours and lasting for 15 weeks. Goals of this group are to move from power struggling to power sharing in intimate relationships; identifying specific controlling and abusive behaviour and replacing those behaviours based on equality and respect; learning anger management skills. (In Phase II, participants will have completed phase I). | |||
