Groups at R.O.A.M are co-facilitated by a male and female group leader. One advantage of this approach is that abusive men are more likely to exhibit their negative attitudes towards women in the presence of a female group leader. Particularly in the beginning stages of the program, they are more apt to interrupt, challenge or ignore their female group leaders. Abusive men’s more negative responses to female group leaders are helpful since we can call attention to them as they are happening in group. These group behaviours can be likened to the men’s negative actions and attitudes toward their partners. Another advantage of male-female co-facilitation is that it offers a model for male-female cooperation and sharing of leadership. We believe this modelling to be of equal importance to the content of our educational curriculum in terms of what we are teaching our clients. Ideally, this modelling enables clients to observe how men can listen to, share power, solve problems, negotiate time, and communicate with women. R.O.A.M therefore devotes considerable attention, in staff meetings and supervision sessions, to helping group leaders consider how they are modelling male-female co-leadership.
