Prevention SERVICE MOUNT ISA

MenTER (Men Towards Equal Relationships) is our behaviour change program for men who want to stop using violence and abuse in their relationships.

MenTER operates in a group format for a total of 20 weeks. We offer this group online weekly. You will gain information to challenge and change the values, beliefs, and behaviours that underlie your use of violence and abuse.

To be eligible to join the program, you must: 
  • Think you have a problem with violence/abuse towards a partner (current or past) or family member.
  • Be under a Voluntary Intervention Order, or
  • Be referred by community/government agencies, or
  • Make a self-referral.

Intake and Assessment 
The first contact will involve providing your contact details and some information about your situation.
This is followed by intake and assessment, usually over two sessions, to understand your situation in detail.

Throughout the program, participants will learn about the intent behind their use of violence. The program covers ten themes:

Online Group:

We focus on how you can take responsibility for changing your behaviour and decision-making without using violence, and how you can use this knowledge to make positive changes for healthy and safe relationships.

Domestic and Family Violence is about relationships, so someone in the program (not your group facilitator) will contact those affected by your abusive behaviour. This means your partner, ex-partner, or affected family members will receive a call to offer them support and provide them with someone to talk to. This is a requirement of our Professional Practice Standard.
Every Wednesday evening from
6pm-8pm via Zoom

Negotiation and fairness
