Some Men:
MENERGY is a counseling and re-education program for men who are physically or emotionally abusive with their partners. This carefully designed 8-month counseling program consists of a:
3 Individual 1-hour sessions for evaluation, assessment and contracting, followed by...
10 weeks of 2-hour, once-a-week psycho-educational groups working to stop abusive behavior, emphasizing accountability, taking responsibility and building skills through structured discussions, followed by an...
Advanced level:
20 weeks of intensive group therapy focused on understanding the roots of the problem and better ways of handling internal and interpersonal conflict
MENERGY is constructed upon several fundamental principles:
* Abusive people must take full responsibility for their abusive behavior.
* It is particularly important for men to not retaliate for behavior they experience as abusive from their partners.
* Safety must precede healing. Men must be willing to give up dangerous or threatening behavior as part of their contract to change.
* Abusive behavior is learned. It can usually be unlearned.
* Recovery from being an abusive or controlling person requires a serious acknowledgement and ownership of the problem and a willful commitment to change.
MENERGY is a center for psychotherapy, counseling, education and training services for men, women and their families.
Paul Bukovec, LCSW, the Director of MENERGY, builds upon two and a half decades of clinical, educational, programming and training experience in gender issues, domestic violence, group psychotherapy and team building to offer a variety of services:
* Intimate Partner Abuser Assessment and Treatment
* Couple work with formerly abusive men and their partners
* Evaluations and case consultations for family and couple therapists regarding assessment of potentially dangerous cases
* On-going psychotherapy groups for straight men and lesbian women
* Workshops to assist men in the support of other men and boys
* Training in domestic and dating violence
