Wow - what a whirl wind. It was only two weeks ago that my wonderful wife set me the challenge to step into, work with, and deliver this new Family and Domestic Violence Prevention Programs for Men. For the past two weeks I have had many meetings, phone calls, emails and FB messages of support to get this up and running.

I have sat at my computer for over 100 hours (sometimes until 2 am!), visioning, creating, planning and typing up business plans, workshop schedules, time lines, documents and proposals and. And have had the offer from the wonderful Tan Ja to tidy it all up for me!

I have the first Sponsor for the program - Thank you Barry Auchettl from 'Conversations the Game'. I am now out seeking other Sponsors to support this.

The next part of the process is to get a Membership base started so that we can fund all of this work. So it's now over to all you people out there. You becoming a member would be very much appreciated and will ensure that this work gets out into the world - we cannot do this a;lone. Go to the Membership page on the website.

The Pilot Programs will be our first big delivery project. We are seeking 60 men to take part - we currently have 8. Which is a great start - that's over 10%. Thank you men for stepping up. The first program is set for early January 2016.

And very soon I will be announcing the date for our BIG LAUNCH in Brisbane - this will be a big and exciting night!

Thank you.

Adrian

It is with great excitement, and with an ounce or two of fear, that I write this first Blog. These past 11 days have been a whirl-wind of activity. I have written a 6,000 plus word document, set up a website, met with and spoken to many people about what I am doing and have also been updating and posting on social media to get this out into the world.

I have had some amazing response - some of which has brought me to tears. I have received calls, emails and FB messages from men and women wanting to help and some telling their challenges stories. 

I have 6 men so far telling me that they want to step in and do a Pilot Program and I have many people who want to help with their various skills and experiences. I will now be seeking people to form 'The Team'. I am looking for men who are amazing professional and experienced facilitators and also people to work with 'office/admin/IT work.

I have created the Vision and now it is time to bring that Vision into Reality. It is with your strong support that this can happen. I look forward to the journey with you if you choose to step on board in some way.

Please consider SHARING this post and letting other people know about this important work. There are too many sad and heart-wrenching stories about family and domestic violence, and together, we can work to help prevent it. The whole aspect and focus of this work is about PREVENTION.

Please check out the Membership Page on this website - and consider joining us as a Member. There are some great things planned for the next few months and it really would be wonderful to have you join us.

Blessings, Adrian
