Stronger Families: Breaking the Cycle of Violence, From “just Father” to a Role Model

👨‍👧‍👦Every child born to this world are supposed to be protected under the shelter of a caring dad, not to be traumatized by violence. Not every home is filled with love and laughter. It is overwhelming to witness some echo with silence, fear and sorrow. Domestic and family violence continues to impact thousands of lives across Australia, with over 2.9 million children witnessing violence before the age of 15. At Stronger Families, we believe that children deserve to grow up in a safe, supportive, loving home and we support fathers to heal and build heart-to-heart connection with their child and partner through our evidence-based programs.

🌈There is still hope. Change is possible. ❤️

Stronger Families exists to break the cycle of intergenerational violence. Our mission is to promote the safety and wellbeing of vulnerable children by supporting mothers and working directly with fathers. We help men become better dads—not through blame, but through education, support, and accountability.

If you are a dad wanting to Break the cycle and start healing, we are here for you!

🌱The Caring Dads Program

Our flagship initiative, Caring Dads, is a 17-week, evidence-based group program designed for fathers who have used violence or harmful behavior in their families. The program helps them understand the roots of their actions, how those actions affect their children and partners, and how to rebuild trust.

🤝Why this program is important? You get a priceless opportunity to connect with fathers who have turned their lives around through this program, so that you feel more hopeful about the process and to see that the real change is possible.

It’s about creating a safe space for men to reflect, take responsibility, and change. Caring Dads is built around four key goals:

• Promoting child-centered fathering

• Enhancing men’s motivation to change

• Supporting respectful co-parenting

• Collaborating with professionals to ensure family safety

  
  

In 2024, over 55 men participated in Caring Dads, with 97% reporting meaningful improvements in their relationships with their children.

🧠Step into Their Shoes

“Dad, I just want to feel safe with you.”

This simple but powerful statement reflects the experience of many children. We ask fathers to step into their child’s and partner’s shoes—to feel what they feel—and to begin the journey toward safe, responsible parenting.

Violence is often a symptom of past trauma. At Stronger Families, we help men uncover that trauma and replace old patterns with empathy, patience, and purpose.
