The Program:
- The purpose of the Partner Assault Response program is to help men stop being violent, abusive and controlling towards their partners.
- This is a 12 week program for Chinese-speaking men who have been emotionally, psychologically & physically abusive toward their female partners and have been mandated by court to participate. The program consists of both individual and group counselling.
In this program, men will learn:
- to develop a better understanding of domestic violence and its impact on the family and society at large;
- to take increased responsibility for one's own behaviour and to understand that being abusive is a matter of choice;
- to learn that there are alternate ways of expressing anger other than using violence;
- to develop and implement better anger and stress management skills;
- to rebuild a better, safer and more harmonious relationship with their family members;
- to share experience and receive support from other men who have similar problems
