No to Violence Men’s Referral Service (NTV) is a national service in Australia that provides support, information and referrals for men who use violence and abuse in their relationships. The service also offers support to their family members, friends and others who are concerned about their behaviour.
NTV was established in 2003 and is funded by the Australian Government Department of Social Services. The service is operated by No to Violence, a non-profit organisation that works to prevent violence against women and children in Australia. NTV operates a helpline that can be accessed by phone or online, 7 days a week. The service is staffed by professional counsellors who are trained to provide support and information to men who use violence and abuse, as well as to their partners and family members.
NTV’s services are confidential and non-judgmental and are designed to help men take responsibility for their actions and make positive changes in their relationships. The organisation also works to raise awareness about the issue of violence against women and children and to promote gender equality and respectful relationships.
NTV recognises that violence against women and children is a complex issue and that men who use violence and abuse often face a range of social, emotional and psychological challenges. The organisation works to provide a safe and supportive environment for men to address these issues and to develop the skills and resources they need to build healthy and respectful relationships.
