CHANGING TRACKS programmes are designed to meet the needs of people whoare acting violently and have come to realise that "all is not well" with them or with their family relations.

CHANGING TRACKS aims to help program participants to get motivated to change their lives by making choices towards abuse free and compassionate relationships.

CHANGING TRACKS main focus is on group work with men: individual sessions are available for either men or women who are violent; couple sessions are optional.

CHANGING TRACKS is open for self referrals, Court referrals or those referred by others.
