No Buts the book: a conversation with men who changed their behaviour

Change can happen.  

As a society, we hear about the shocking cases of murder and violence perpetrated by men against women. But we rarely hear from the men who live with guilt and shame and want to change their abusive behaviour.  

As part of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence, join us in this safe space, where we will hear from men who have changed their violent and abusive behaviour, with the aim of understanding their lived experience and encouraging other men to seek help.   

Facilitated by Margaret Chipperfield, social worker and survivor who compiled the stories in No Buts after working with men in a Men’s Behaviour Change Program for over 11 years. 

While No Buts is a book about men and, in many cases, their untapped potential, it in no way diminishes the pain and suffering that men have inflicted upon women and children. It is because of this harm that this book has been written: to examine the causes, seek understanding, some solutions and most of all, to encourage men who need it to seek help.  

This is a free event. Bookings are essential.
