Testimonials
Below are comments from men of all ages that have completed an ACT training workshop:
"It's
strengthened our cultural identity …it's built my identity and
confidence in lot of ways I am around with other brothers and men of
the community and it's built my confidence and identity"
"Its
heap different from a mainstream one... here you are in with the boys
you can have a laugh …... it's really good to have your own brothers
around."
 "They have helped us out with handing our anger, emotions, sadness; it's just been magic for the last three days…."
"It
allowed me to articulate more the issues I had inside of myself, which
have always been there, but they never had a voice and by allowing them
a voice it enables me to see them better and from that you can act on
it."
"It
will strengthen my family because I will be a man who can control his
anger … and if a man can't control his anger he really can't have a
family, no matter how much he wants he won't be able to do it."
"By dealing with our issues we become better men, better fathers better husbands, lovers whatever."
"I
haven't seen my mother since I was three months old and we did a thing
yesterday and I am prepared to meet my mum and I haven't seen her for
29 years. I am bracing myself for it."
"Its made me a better person, happier... a load has been taken off my shoulders."
"Unique it is, Unique it is … best program I ever been to."
"I
was just so blown away by the whole experience and the whole workshop
and I am still trying to take in the profound effect its had on me.
"I
see the program as potentially being preventive to a lot issues rather
than just reactionary as lot of government programs are..."
"I
feel much more able to share my issues and I have a much greater
understanding of other men now ... a lot of things I thought were
unique to me aren't and that many men have these."
