About
Domestic Abuse
DMAT run a male perpetrators programme to support men to change their abusive behaviour and be accountable for their behaviour.
The program will also support intimate partners who remain in a
relationship with a perpetrator.
Domestic Abuse does not only impact on the victims but also on their children.
Home Secretary Amber Rudd said:
It is appalling that in twenty-first century Britain, nearly 2 million people every year – the majority of them women – suffer abuse at the hands of those closest to them.
Statistics from NSPCC record that 1 in 5 children have been exposed to
domestic abuse.
Children who witness domestic violence & abuse may:
Become aggressive
Display anti-social behaviour
Suffer from depression or anxiety
Not do as well at school - due to difficulties at home or disruption
of moving to and from refuges.
The
Duluth Program
The Duluth Model is successful because it is grounded in the experience of victims, helps offenders and society change, and pulls the whole community together to respond. When the Duluth Model first began, women told us that they wanted us to work with their partners that helping their partners change is what would most keep them safe. So, we began nonviolence courses to help abusive men look more closely at their actions, intentions and beliefs and the effect their actions had on their partners and others. Because it helps men get to the core of their actions and beliefs, our men’s violence programme is the mot replicated programme for men who abuse in the world.
t has been tested by research and replication.
The Duluth Model
What is the Duluth Model ?
In the early 1980s in Northern Minnesota, it was a small community that have been the innovators of the model and found ways of holding abusive partners to account and to keep the victims safe. Ever since then, The Duluth Model has been an ever evolving way of thinking about how communities can come together and to help STOP domestic Abuse.
