Men Managing Change  - family peace-building messages made in Men’s Sheds.  The videos emerged out of a two-year conversation with newly settled communities about preventing family violence, and workshops exploring men's understanding of their rights, cultural attitudes and change. 

The project found that many don’t know the full legal meaning of family violence, some accept family violence as normal, and some men see the system as threatening their manhood and favouring women. 

Created by RAILS and South Community Hub (SCH) with support from specialist family violence agencies.  Visit  http://www.rails.org.au/education/resources for more educational resources.
