Violent Men

BrotherPeace Twin Cities - Metro Resource List

BrotherPeace Twin Cities (BPTC) has compiled this list from information received from battered women's shelters, intervention projects, and advocacy groups. We do not recommend any specific resource. It is important to remembe r that the services listed below can not make men change their behavior. They can provide information and make suggestions, but individual change is each man's decision. BPTC believes it is also important for programs providing counseling, education, and treatment to be using methods that support ending men's violence against women by holding men accountable for their personal behavior and not by blaming women for men's violence against them. BPTC also believes this is more effectively done in an atmosphe re which validates malesness while renouncing violence.
