NQDVRS facilitates a Men’s Behavioral Change Program as part of its
response of challenging men to address their use of violence within their
relationships. Known as Men TER and run in a group format, participants
gain information and tools to challenge and change the values, beliefs and
behaviors that are the foundation for their use of violence.
The program runs twice weekly Tuesday and Thursday evenings between
6pm-8-30pm for eight weeks. Two intake appointments prior to starting the group
are also required.
In group work men will understand that violence is a learnt behavior and
only they can take the steps to change the behavior.
They can learn the skills to keep others safe.
Men will hear that violence is not caused by others or due to anger or
frustration. They will understand violence is used to maintain a sense of power
and control over people and situations.
