Introducing No To Violence
No To Violence (NTV), the Male Family Violence Prevention Association, is the Victorian state-wide peak body of organisations and individuals working with men to end their violence and abuse against family members.
Our mission is to:
Provide counselling, advisory, referral and educational services to men who have inflicted or are at risk of inflicting violence on family members and to family members exposed to male family violence or the risk of male family violence.
By doing this we seek to work towards a world free of men's violence against family members, and where family members can live without the fear of violence.
Our aims are to:
- provide a counselling and referral service
- foster non-violent relationships in families and promote the safety of all family members
- facilitate skill development in counsellors and others
- encourage recognition in the community of the effects of male violence
- facilitate networking, support, and information sharing between counsellors and others
- develop and recommend professional standards for counsellors
- carry out research and investigations
- prepare and disseminate information
- subscribe to, become a member of, and co-operate with any other association, service or network whose objects are wholly or in part similar to those of NTV.
Our members come from a wide range of professional and community backgrounds and work in a range of settings including government, community-based settings and private practice.
