dc.description.abstractThis report reviews the Men's Exploring New Directions (MEND) online behaviour change program (BCP), a 20-week program delivered by the Men and Family Centre and funded by No to Violence. Conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, MEND was designed for men in rural, regional, and remote areas who face barriers to attending in-person programs. The report examines the delivery and effectiveness of the program, including challenges such as engagement and accessibility, as well as the broader social context of domestic and family violence.en_US

dc.description.contents<h2><b>Recommendations</b></h2> <h3><b>Extend the pilot program</b></h3> <p>It is recommended to extend the pilot to additional cohorts and to further review the role of online BCPs in broader sector offerings.</p> <h3><b>Expand beyond rural areas</b></h3> <p>Online BCPs could benefit individuals beyond rural and regional areas, such as those juggling primary care or work commitments.</p> <h3><b>Co-facilitation model</b></h3> <p>The co-facilitation model during intake assessments should be further trialed to enhance rapport-building and safety for both facilitators and participants.</p> <h3><b>Strengthen engagement with children</b></h3> <p>The program highlighted the need for greater engagement with children, who are often missed in support provisions within BCP contexts.</p> <h3><b>Additional one-on-one work</b></h3> <p>There is a need for more one-on-one work with participants before, during, and after the program, to better assess and manage risk.</p> <h3><b>Adjust session length and group size</b></h3> <p>Consider limiting group sizes to six participants and allowing more flexible session lengths to improve the depth of discussions.</p>en_US
