Shedding Abuse: A Course for Men Who Use Domestic Violence

Based on the work of Chris Laming with SHED (Self Help Ending Domestics) in Eastern Australia, this manual outlines a workshop of 12 sessions on domestic violence. It addresses men responsible for domestic violence who are seeking to change their relationship patterns. The manual has been adapted by networklearning.org for use in various cultural settings. It emphasises beginning at the community level with a steering committee and then selecting trainers or facilitators to present the course in group settings. It details the steps in setting up the course and provides teaching methods and tools, including role plays and homework assignments, for a 12-week course for men. Assessment forms, timetables, and materials for each session are included.
