It aims to inform future advancements in these programs to enhance victim-survivor safety, improve perpetrator engagement and accountability, and ultimately to reduce repetition of abusive behaviours and escalation of family violence. In highlighting the importance of individualised support and post-program engagement, the study advocates for a more cohesive and supportive approach towards program design and delivery.
