We offer programs designed to help men engage in changing their behaviour.
The Room4Change Program is a free 30-week program for men who want to stop their use of violence and controlling behaviours.
This program helps participants understand how their behaviour impacts others and supports them to learn how to build safe, respectful, and healthy relationships.
Our practitioners deliver weekly group and one-on-one sessions to help participants address issues that might be contributing to their violent behaviour. Encouraging them to take responsibility and develop effective strategies to change their behaviour.
Room4Change participants can choose to stay in their own home or live in one of our fully equipped residences. If they choose to live in a Room4Change residence, they will have a private, furnished bedroom, access to a fully equipped kitchen, and share a bathroom with up to two other men in the program. If they choose to live in one of the residential homes, there will be a small fee that is based on the person’s income.
Through the Room4Change Program, we offer support to the participant's partner/s and children (if they choose to engage) who have been affected by or are at risk because of the participant's behaviour. This support is provided through our Partner Support Program, which runs separately and is voluntary.
Ongoing support is also available to men and their families once they have completed the program.
Participants in the Room4Change program have the option to join an additional 17-week group called Caring Dads. This program helps men better understand and prioritize their children's needs while developing healthy parenting strategies. Participants are assessed by our practitioners to determine if they are suitable for this program.
Call our 24/7 crisis line on 02 62 800 900 to access our free Room4Change program or alternatively email room4change@dvcs.org.au.
