| Join us in exploring how narrative therapy can support meaningful change and contribute to a more just world in how we respond to gender-based violence. Developed by internationally acclaimed narrative therapist Ncazelo Ncube-Mlilo, OUTTRAGED is a collective, narrative-based methodology to support men and boys in moving from positions of perpetrating gender-based violence to becoming agents of change and violence prevention. Rooted in the narrative ethic of separating people from problems and problematic ideas, OUTTRAGED invites practitioners to engage with men and boys as competent and capable — rather than deviant or hopeless — opening up non-blaming, non-judgmental, and non-punitive spaces for honest reflection, constructive dialogue, and new possibilities for action. In this 2-day training, you will learn how Ncazelo developed OUTTRAGED, the narrative-based ideas and practices embedded in the curriculum, and how to implement the program with groups of men or boys. For those not working directly with groups of men or boys, OUTTRAGED offers adaptable narrative therapy processes that can enrich clinical and community-based work with people of any gender, including in counseling with individuals, couples, families, and youth. These processes support conversations that uncover how people may be recruited into patterns of patriarchy and male dominance, and invite critical reflection on issues of power, entitlement, and oppression. Because such patterns show up across cultures and contexts, training participants will explore the histories and tactics behind gender-based rage, violence, and other forms of oppression, and discover their own skills, values, and commitments that can support preferred ways of being and interacting in all relationships. The OUTTRAGED methodology offers an alternative and refreshing approach to working with anger and rage.
