Helping People

Build Healthy Relationships

and create more peace in their lives

OUR SERVICES

Non-Violence

We live in a world that often teaches us to use violence and domination to achieve success and resolve conflict. At Men Creating peace we believe there are better alternatives.

 


Our approach is supportive and non- judgmental. Most importantly, we help men build accountability for their past actions and behaviors. Our model emphasizes peer education, so that participants are learning from the experiences and insights of their classmates, as well as from experienced facilitators. The first class is always free.

Our Program encourages clients to become advocates for peace in their families and communities. “Men Creating Peace works with our participants and supporters to build a world of collaboration and equality that serves everyone.”

Bring MCP to your organization: Training sessions are available to corporations, nonprofits, or any other group interested in promoting a culture of collaboration, equality, and nonviolence

I learned how my language and emotional behavior was hurtful to my partner and harmful to my relationship. I work to practice what I learned ongoing in my interpersonal relationships, for example to validate others’ feelings and statements to maintain a sense of equality. Practicing what I learned through MCP with my children has helped me defuse many charged parent-child situations, rather than escalate them, and transfer safer coping strategies to my children.

I have found the work in the [MCP] program [was] the strongest model for change in my life. When I started, I was a bit resistant. Quickly, with guidance from Devon and Scott, I came to see the benefits of holding myself accountable and intimating with my emotions. This has had a great effect on my relationship with my partner who was the victim of my violence, and simultaneously aided me in communicating with my children and the other people in my life. I [have a] great appreciation for my freedom from violent behavior to the work I did with MCP.

It is my pleasure to write about my experience with Men Creating Peace [MCP]. I attended a similar class for 16 weeks but graduated with very limited knowledge. When I attended  MCP, I thought it would be the same but I was surprised at the amount of information and help they give you. After the second week I started to look forward to my class. I have to say they do a great job. I recommend it to everyone and even after you graduate you have the option to attend the class at no cost to you.
