Disrupting Family Violence & Moving Closer to Family Wellbeing

Family violence now accounts for around of 40% of policing time, is prevalent across the population and often follows intergenerational patterns. In this programme men will work through a number of key ideas and perspectives on family violence and develop an understanding of what it is like for women and children living in situations of fear.

HMA programmes are proven to be effective!

“A recent outcome study has shown significant reductions in the rate of offending recorded post-programme attendance (significance *** <.001). The two programs evaluated were HMA designed family violence programs (50 hours d=.77- moderate effect size and 75 hours d=1.53 – large effect size) working with higher risk family violence offenders.”
