Description
Domestic violence intervention requires a coordinated response across public agencies, community-based programs, and the communities they serve. A key component of The Duluth Model’s coordinated community response is the men’s nonviolence program. Creating a Process of Change for Men Who Batter is the premier—and one of the longest-standing—curricula for men’s nonviolence programs. It is designed to support men through a structured change process that reduces or eliminates their use of violence and coercive control.
Originally developed in 1986 in Duluth, Minnesota, by advocates and intervention workers, the curriculum emerged from extensive work with survivors that also led to the creation of the world-renowned Power and Control Wheel. Creating a Process of Change for Men Who Batter continues to evolve, integrating contemporary research, cultural considerations, and best practices in facilitating meaningful accountability and change.
This training—required prior to purchasing and implementing the curriculum—equips participants with the skills and understanding needed to facilitate the program effectively. The training focuses on:
- The theoretical foundations that examine domestic violence and coercive control as social, systemic problems
- Facilitating structured, interactive classes that support accountability and engagement
- Establishing and maintaining dialogue while avoiding collusion
- Using control logs, equality logs, exercises, role-plays, and video vignettes
- Supporting men in identifying and changing the beliefs that underpin their use of violence
Who will benefit from this training?
The training is perfect for anyone who is:
- Starting a domestic violence intervention program
- New to men’s non-violence group facilitation
- Looking to strengthen their facilitation skills and deepen their engagement with group participants.
We also strongly encourage anyone who is using early versions or aspects or adaptations of the curriculum to join us. Learning about the history, context, and evolution of the curriculum will deepen your understanding and ability to advance social change to end violence against women.
Materials include articles and other information resources, sample forms, and curriculum supplements. DAIP strongly encourages registered participants to read the following materials prior to the training. Doing so will prepare you for a deeper discussion of our work and how you might adapt it in your own community.
