No Excuses Stopping Violence Programme

About the programme
No Excuses is a positive group programme for men that promotes accountability for those who have used violence against their partners and/or children.  Male and female facilitators support men to make positive changes in their relationships.  No Excuses challenges participants to explore their belief systems, which allow them to think that they are entitled to be abusive, and to face the impact of their behaviour on their families and themselves.  No Excuses places the safety of women and children as the highest priority. 

The programme encourages men to:

• Learn and practice non-violent alternatives to conflict resolution
• Explore beliefs that may support abusive behaviour
• Learn what helps and what hurts relationships
• Make the change and become non-violent

It is important to note that attending this programme is not enough to turn a violent person into a safe one.  Changing attitudes and behaviours about violence takes commitment and hard work over a long period of time.  This is not easy to do.  Some men do make positive changes.  Many men continue with some forms of abusive behaviour.
