Creating a Process of Change for Men Who Batter
The curriculum Creating a Process of Change for Men Who Batter was developed using the Duluth Model method of organizing a coordinated community response to domestic violence.  The men’s program is just one intervention that works in concert with all other interventions in the community and within the criminal justice system. ​We strongly encourage anyone who is using early versions of the curriculum or parts or adaptations of more-recent versions to join us.
