TV shows like Adolescence, conversations about the ‘Lost Boys Report’ and Red Pill Men have contributed to society trying to understand what makes boys and men becoming violent perpetrators so that we can end men’s violence. Domestic and male violence is something that we have spoken to many experts about on this podcast over the past 6 years. We’ve learnt that the most dangerous time for a woman fleeing violence is when she actually leaves. We’ve spoken to victim survivors and family members of victims of abuse and learnt about the early warning signs of violent perpetrators. But, today’s conversation addresses the belief systems that violent men have and the programs and systems in place to keep women and children safe and whether they actually work.

Joining the podcast today is Dr Brian Sullivan. Dr Brian is an academic and the founder of Sicura Domestic Violence Training and Support. He has been working with men who use violence in men’s behaviour change programs for almost 25 years. Brian has joined the 3rd season of the podcast ‘There’s no place like home’ to address the changes that are needed in our conversations about violence and ask the right questions - why does he do it? And how do we help the next person leave safely?

We speak about:

• How perpetrators use ‘justifications’ to control their image management
• The underlying belief systems of male privilege, entitlement and control
• Can violent men be truly rehabilitated?
• The systemic barriers that need to be addressed to actually reduce violence
• The measures we can take right now to stop children going down dangerous paths and following dangerous influencers
• There are more reports about former partners than current ones
• The problem with how ‘breaches’ are currently handled
• How perpetrators use children as a weapon

Hey Lifers,

Laura is joining us from Bali today (for work) and Keeshia is filling in for Britt but is in a bit of a funk after moving house over the weekend. They say that if you want to test your relationship, build an ikea flat pack together. Moving house seems to be the level up from that when it comes to testing your relationship. Have you faced the test and realised things about your partner that you’ve never thought before?

Laura’s ‘for you’ page is the stuff of nightmares. We might be back tracking on saying that the algorithm only shows you what you spend time on after this 😂. But she’s found a solution for you if yours needs a refresh and an overhaul!

There are some changes coming to NSW with how ADHD may be diagnosed and medicated. Most of the commentary online was encouraging of these changes but we speak about why we think it’s a little bit more complex than what it might appear on the surface and how it may add to the stigma that ADHD already has.

Do you want to know if a celebrity has had plastic surgery… or does that just make things worse?

Do we want transparency or does it normalise unrealistic beauty standards? Kris Jenner’s new face has infiltrated many group chats and we unpack whether being out and proud about surgery demystifies what it takes to obtain a particular aesthetic or whether it promotes and encourages unnecessary cosmetic procedures. We ask if it’s more damaging to pretend you haven’t had surgery—or to be transparent but promote it like it’s no big deal (when it might be expensive, painful, and risky).
