About the organisation

Jesuit Social Services is a social change organisation working to build a just society where all people can live to their full potential.

Since 1977, Jesuit Social Services has provided services to some of the most disadvantaged in our community.

We place a high priority on advocacy and are a leader in policy development and research.

About the program
The Men's Project is an initiative of Jesuit Social Services launched in 2017.

It provides leadership on the reduction of violence and other harmful behaviours prevalent among boys and men, and builds approaches to improve their wellbeing and keep families and communities safe.

Our vision is for good men, respectful relationships and safe communities.

We will achieve this by:
- promoting positive change around gender norms and stereotypes and what it means to be a man in the 21st century;
- learning from and expanding programs that build positive relationship skills and improve the wellbeing of boys and men; and
- developing innovative ways to stop cycles of violence and harmful behaviour among boys and men.

Current priorities for The Men's Project include:

research to better understand the attitudes and behaviours of boys and young men;

- developing new early intervention approaches with a focus on community activation and educational settings; and
- piloting innovative responses working with perpetrators of adolescent family violence.

The Men's Project builds on Jesuit Social Services' 40-years engagement with boys and men in trouble, but it also involves us leading new work to reduce violence, to improve the wellbeing of boys and men, and to keep families and communities safe.
