A programme evaluation of "Taking Responsibility", an 18-week behaviour change programme offered by Relationships Australia NSW, has revealed that men’s change factors are influenced by varying levels of motivation, at intake and throughout. These accounts have indicated that the relati onship status with their partner affects their motivation, which in turn has the potential to affect their investment in the programme. The implications of this are discussed, with the focus remaining on the safety of the whole family. (from the abstract). Record #4487
