In 2011, Berry Street commissioned an international literature review of programs aimed at helping boys to break the cycle of family violence.
This report focuses on research about programs for boys between the ages of 8 and 18, with emphasis on group work approaches. The report emphasises programs for boys who have direct or indirect experience of violence in the home, and/or boys who show signs of developing violent behaviour themselves.
The report explores and makes recommendations regarding options for developing interventions to prevent and reduce violence amongst boys aged between 8 and 18 years of age.
