520 _aThis paper reports on a study of four men's behaviour change programmes (MBCPs) in rural Victoria and the support experienced by the female partners of male participants. It focuses on the women's experiences of the partner support programme, a service which should be provided by all Victorian Department of Human Services (DHS) funded MBCPs to the partners (and former partners in many instances) of men attending these programmes. The paper briefly outlines the role of partner support services and the research methodology from which the varied experiences of women are identified. A number of issues for policy and practice can be highlighted from the accounts of women and their perceptions of the support they were offered. (From authors' introduction)
