While the availability of services for domestic violence survivors has increased, statistics indicate that domestic violence is not decreasing in Finland. To effectively combat domestic violence, Finland should invest in helping those who use violence.
The Federation of Mother and Child Homes and Shelters in Finland also assists those who use violence in breaking free from abusive behavior.
Providing professional help to stop violent behavior is an effective means of preventing domestic violence.
“Violence won’t stop without helping the perpetrators. More re aims to promote work with domestic violence perpetrators. The project has developed a violence cessation program targeting individuals who have used violence in their close relationships or been involved in violent crimes, as well as those concerned about their own behavior. The program pays special attention to service coordination for victims, children, and relatives, as well as risk assessment. The Safe Tracks project has been funded by the Ministry of Justice.
The closing seminar of the project on September 27 provides up-to-date information on helping those who use violence and the methods of the Safe Tracks domestic violence cessation program, along with related research.
