Helping men overcome violence

A new programme to help men overcome domestic violence is starting in Sligo next months.

Move Ireland (Men Overcoming Violent Emotion), is now offering their Choices programme in Sligo with a new group starting on May 14 th.

It will continue to run on Monday evenings after that.

Men are challenged to take responsibility for their attitudes and behaviour, to develop new ways of thinking and acting.

The Move programme offers ongoing partner contact support for the partners of men who are accepted onto the programme.

Women are offered one to one support for a 12 month period, regardless of whether their partner or former partner stays involved with the programme, and regardless of whether or not they decide to remain with their partner.

Referrals to the programme can come directly from the men themselves, or through any professional who come across domestic abuse in their work.
