About this service

DVRP is part of a safer family and community response to domestic violence.

DVRP uses the Invitation to Responsibility for its approach to dealing with domestic violence.The program considers the importance of framing the problem and its resolutions in ways that identify a mans agency and pre-existing capacity to act respectfully and resolve interpersonal conflict, and to access skills and abilities that promote positive relationships.

The program emphasizes support for the movement from understanding to choice and action and that action should directly contribute to the quality of life for children and families. A foundation of the program is to support every person to have safe and meaningful relationships and that the men who participate in DVRP can benefit from and be happier in safer relationships. The program takes the position that men have the ability to control and take responsibility for their violent acts.

Who can use it?

Men - by referral only from the Ministry of Children & Family Development
