I feel like too often people just say "stop domestic abuse", but without tackling the underlying causes.

So I'm a big fan of programs like this that help abusers become better people.

I agree, thanks for sharing.

Honestly, good for them. I hope this changes abusers for the better. It helps when they go to these voluntarily instead of forced. It's really great that they acknowledge some people who go to these are going for the wrong reasons. (My ex was forced into a program sort of like this by the court, and learned nothing but more vocabulary to try to turn it around on me. He still thinks he did nothing wrong.)
