TY - JOUR PY - 2003// TI - Culturally Competent Programs: The First Family Violence Program for Aboriginal Men in Prison JO - Prison journal A1 - Zellerer, Evelyn SP - 171 EP - 190 VL - 83 IS - 2 N2 - Given the severity and extent of woman abuse, calls are being made to mandate treatment for abusive men. Attention has focused on Caucasian populations; few programs are culturally competent. This article discusses the first Aboriginal family violence program for inmates within the federal correctional system in North America. The Correctional Service of Canada funded a project operated by a community agency, Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre, for offenders at Stony Mountain Institution in Manitoba. Numerous issues, including cultural competence, training, and evaluation, are highlighted.
