Preventing violence before it begins is key to building sustainable safe communities. Our Men's Program encourages men to critically explore their cultural beliefs and dynamics that promote or enable violence. Experts conduct training and workshops on identifying healthy relationships and boundaries, the root causes of violence, and finding healthier ways to express emotion. Men are an essential component in the prevention of violence. 

To proactively engage the community, Tapestri conducts community outreach to encourage men to critically explore their cultural beliefs and the dynamics which promote or enable violence and oppression in their communities. Prevention is key to an effective anti-violence program. To this end, Tapestri works to educate boys and men to avoid violence and to become role models for safe communities.

Our dedicated staff has expanded on ways to continually provide domestic violence prevention for the refugee community by combining both prevention and intervention in other supportive formats which also includes, b) Community Education/orientation sessions on family violence, c) a Therapy Support Group composed of men who are potentially violent, and d) a Support Group for the female partners of these men.
