ManKind

ManKind is a biblically-based program for men who struggle with abusive and controlling behaviors. The program challenges a man's underlying beliefs behind his abusive behavior. Anger is not the root; his beliefs are.

In order for a man to change his abusive behavior, he must first take responsibility for his attitudes and actions. ManKind facilitators do not allow the men in their groups to blame others for their choice to use abusive and controlling behaviors.

ARMS serves men who have been mandated by the courts to attend a domestic abuse intervention program. Voluntary referrals are also welcome.

Classes meet in Hillsboro, OR.

In a respectful and confidential group environment, over the course of a year, we cover topics such as:
