Additional Information
Where other programs tend to subtly denigrate men as perpetrators and focus on stopping the problematic behaviour, Building a Better Man broadens the scope of inquiry into their behaviour by reviewing a range of external societal forces that contribute to the problems. Clinicians and group leaders will find that this approach can set treatment on an entirely different and infinitely more productive path.
