No Buts - Twelve inspiring stories from men who changed their violent or abusive behaviour

<p><em style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>No Buts </em><span style=color: rgba(15 17 17 1)>is a book that features men we rarely hear about.</span></p><p><br></p><p>As a society we hear appalling stories about homicides and violent and abusive crimes perpetrated by men against women and children. We are relieved to hear when the perpetrators are incarcerated and we are supportive of funding being used to protect women and children.</p><p>However we rarely hear of the men who live with a belly full of guilt and shame and who want to change their behaviour.</p><p>The stories in this book are written by men who achieved behaviour change. They are written with the aim of encouraging other men to seek help.</p><p>The stories were compiled by social worker Margaret Chipperfield who began working in the intensive Men's Behaviour Change Program at Anglicare Victoria in 2013.</p><p>While this book is about men and in many cases their untapped potential it in no way diminishes the suffering that men have inflicted upon women and children. It is because of this intolerable damage that this book has come to be written: to examine the root cause of the problem seek an understanding and some solutions and most of all to encourage men who need it to seek help.</p>
