Welcome to MOVE

 

MOVE, Men Overcoming Violence, works in the area of domestic violence, with a primary aim of supporting the safety and wellbeing of women and their children who are experiencing, or have experienced violence/abuse in an intimate relationship.

 

MOVE does this by facilitating men in a weekly group process that involves them taking responsibility for their violence and changing their attitude and behaviour.

 

MOVE Ireland is a national voluntary organisation with charitable status that provides intervention programmes free of charge for perpetrators of domestic violence at a range of locations around Ireland, which are listed above.

 

MOVE provides awareness of the issue of Domestic Violence to reinforce the concept that violent behaviour is unacceptable and works with a network of other relevant statutory and voluntary agencies as part of a coordinated community response to end violence against women. Men attending MOVE will experience a respectful, person centred environment, which is conducive to change. MOVE will ensure their conditions of confidentiality are communicated to clients, women partners and referring agents.

 

We offer a weekly group session in which men can:

• Learn to stop the violence
• Learn to spot danger signs
• Learn to break out of isolation
• Learn other ways of expressing strong feelings safely
• Learn to build healthy relationships

 

If your partner is violent or you know someone who is, perhaps you could refer them to us and help someone to take the first step in changing their beliefs and their behaviour.
