Description
The main goal of the project is to increase the awareness of the target population about the availability and specifics of therapeutic programs for perpetrators of violence in close relationships, through a thematic communication campaign. The aim is to raise awareness of all available programs for perpetrators of violence in the Czech Republic, as well as the benefits and limits of the therapy of violent bahaviour.
The expected output is a general increase in the overall knowledge of the issue by about 5% (see evaluation activity) and the range of OTS min. 2,500,000 people with a special focus on regional populations in places where specific programs operate (Prague, Brno, Hradec Králové, České Budějovice, Kladno…)
As one of the outputs of the project, we expect a certain "destigmatization" of violence and a lowering of the threshold for potential clients to enter therapeutic programs, especially for men. This intention is by no means to relativize violence and its consequences (!). The intention is to inform potential clients that if they take responsibility for their actions, violence can be stopped and brought under control through targeted therapeutic work.
The project will be implemented in cooperation with several other NGOs and at the same time, we expect to communicate with many other organizations and institutions for which the topic is important.
