My husband has a violent temper. I want him to see a counsellor. Can you help?

Relationships Australia offers a comprehensive range of counselling programs designed to address Family Violence and Safety.

Programs and services are available for people who have experienced violence and/or abuse in their relationships, and are seeking ways to ensure their safety and to overcome the impact of this trauma.  (While reports show that women are still more likely to experience violence and/or abuse in an intimate or family relationship, men may also be affected by violence and/or abuse). Relationships Australia offers counselling and support services to any person who has experienced violence and/or abuse in a family or intimate relationship.

Programs and services are also available for people who have used violence and/or abuse in their family or intimate relationships, and who now want to find more respectful ways of relating that do not harm others.
