What’s the project about

We are testing two healthy relationships websites for men. The websites are designed to be available to men looking for ways to improve their relationship and communication style and understand more about healthy relationships. We are doing this project to test if the websites increase knowledge about healthy relationships, improve communication with partners and assist men in seeking help for their behaviour in their relationships.

We are interested in finding out whether these websites are helpful for men who may use controlling behaviour or violence in their intimate relationship/s. We are inviting men (between 18 to 50 years) living in Australia who have experienced relationship issues related to their behaviour in the last 12 months and have private internet access. Your participation is voluntary.
