From High Risk to Hope: A Conversation with Men Who Chose Change

Thursday October 29, 2026 10:15am - 11:15am MDT

Garden Pavilion - The Penrose House Conference Center

What does meaningful change look like in domestic violence intervention? How do individuals who once presented with significant risk factors come to recognize the impact of their behavior, develop accountability, and sustain lasting change? This unique and interactive panel brings together men who entered domestic violence treatment presenting with elevated levels of risk, risk of incarceration, and who have since successfully completed treatment. Guided by a moderator, panelists will share their personal journeys, discuss the challenges they encountered throughout treatment, describe the factors that contributed to their growth, and reflect on the ongoing work required to maintain healthy, non-abusive relationships. Audience members will have the opportunity to ask questions directly to the panelists, providing a rare opportunity to hear firsthand perspectives on accountability, behavioral change, treatment engagement, and recovery from those who have lived the process.
