Changing Ways offers a unique service in the community by providing alternatives for men wishing to end and take responsibility for their abusive behaviour.   It helps men who are emotionally, psychologically, verbally, sexually and/or physically abusive towards their partners.

Men come to Changing Ways with many different stories.  Although their stories are unique to each individual, there are common elements that they share.  

They may:

• feel jealous of their partner’s friends or family
• have a hot temper
• fight over the same things again and again without resolution
• use extreme control with their partner
• throw things at or near their partner
• call their partner names, belittle her, or isolate her from her family and friends
• only feel secure when their partner is very close, both physically and emotionally
• have a partner who complains about feeling trapped or controlled
