Men’s Intervention Group (Partner Abuse Response Program)
This program is a culturally competent men’s intervention group for Italian Canadian men who are court-mandated or voluntarily attend and need to acknowledge their abuse towards their partners, wives or girlfriends. Through their group participation, men gain a better understanding of the different types of abuse, and learn to take personal responsibility to reduce the abuse and violence.
