Programme Structure
Once you have contacted us by phone, email or letter, you will be offered an appointment to begin the process of assessment. The purpose to assess your current needs and to evaluate if the programme we provide is sufficient and appropriate for you.
We operate a policy of confidentiality.
Group Work
After the individual work the next stage in your progress towards change takes place in a group with other men. This runs for 30 weeks. The group is run by two skilled facilitators.
In the group you will continue to work on the issues which have been identified in the one-to-one sessions.
After you have completed the 30-week group you will have a further opportunity to assess your progress and to explore the best ways to meet your needs.
