Men's support
MEN’S BEHAVIOUR CHANGE
Cafs has forged a path with our innovative work in Men’s Behaviour Change Program (MBCP) and Family Violence Intervention Program (FVIP). We were one of the first agencies in Victoria to provide interventions for men who use violence or family violence. Our Men’s Behaviour Change Program has been running for over 30 years.
Our work with men who use violence is a vital part of our commitment to child safety. It provides us with a valuable opportunity to support women and children to live free from violence.
MEN’S BEHAVIOUR CHANGE GROUP
Cafs currently facilitates Men’s Behaviour Change Groups for both voluntary and mandated clients.
We have invested significantly in time, support and resources to bring the latest models for Men’s Behaviour Change into the program and to support the team in implementing them.
THE ORANGE DOOR
The Orange Door is a free support service for adults, children and young people who are experiencing, or have experienced family violence. It also provides extra support to families who need help with the care of their children.

OUR FAMILY VIOLENCE INTERVENTION PROGRAM
Our Family Violence Intervention Program has a particular focus on men who have used family violence. And we provide a range of interventions for families that are affected by family violence.
Family Safety Contact is a critical part of our program to ensure the safety and wellbeing of women and children is prioritised.
