This report by Te Pumanawa Hauora, a Health Research Council-funded Maori health research group (at Massey University, Palmerston North), is an evaluation of the Men for Change organisation's violence intervention programme, Living without Violence. The primary purpose of the project was to measure the impact of the Living without Violence programme on the attitudes and behaviours of clients. A secondary purpose was to provide recommendations for the programme's future development. Clients of the Living without Violence programme were interviewed and discussions with programme staff were held. Client perception and use of violence was found to have changed since taking part in the programme. Overall, an improvement in the attitude and a reduced occurrence of abusive behaviour was observed.
