Engaging Men & Boys to End the Cycle of Violence

Making men the solution instead of the problem

Engaging Men and Boys to End the Cycle of Violence will delve into the issues at the heart of practice.

There is no denying that we need to engage differently in work with men to prevent the stark statistics in Australia. The recent Man Box 2024 research highlighted that 1 in 4 men hold attitudes that minimise violence against women. In addition, 25% of participants agreed with the statement that ‘sometimes a woman can make a man so angry that he hits her when he didn’t mean to’.

Over two days, 35+ presenters will deep dive into working with boys and young men, the challenges of inter-agency collaboration, how to provide better responses for men at the intersections of AOD misuse, mental health & violence…and more.
