Notes:	Overview:This article discusses the work of the author in delivering a culturally appropriate program at the Eleanor Duncan Aboriginal Health Centre on the Central Coast of New South Wales to men to address anti-social behaviour. The tactic of using men’s groups as a means to restore cultural identity and build men’s pride and self-confidence has resulted in anecdotal evidence of a reduction in drug and alcohol use and criminal behaviour. An evaluation carried out in Bourke, NSW pointed to the men’s group as a major factor in the reduction of family violence there.
