Men Choosing Change program: Findings of a long-term evaluation

UnitingCare Queensland is committed to addressing domestic and family violence, and men’s behaviour change programs are an important part of that work.
One such program is Men Choosing Change, which has been running for over 12 years.
Over the past four years, researchers from the Queensland Centre for Domestic and Family Violence Research (QCDFVR) at CQUniversity have partnered with UnitingCare to evaluate the program's effectiveness.
The report from the final stage of this evaluation has now been released, and we invited guests to join us to discuss the finding.
