Certified Batterers Intervention
& Anger Management
Welcome to a Better Man Project.
We are a state-certified batterers intervention program. Although all batterers intervention programs are state certified, not all programs are created equal. Matt McMillan has been a police officer, a prosecutor, and criminal defense attorney, and a County Judge. He also co-founded the first state-certified batterers intervention program in 1994. A Better Man Project exemplifies Matt’s commitment to support men in embracing the strong embodiment of healthy masculinity. A masculinity that is measured, strong, resolute. One that is disciplined, focused, and present. A masculinity that demands integrity, accountability and character. A Better Man Project understands that how a man shows up in life is how he will show up in his relationships. We strive to support men in becoming the best version of themselves, and therefore the best version of a lover, partner, father and friend.
Led by Experience. Built on Accountability.

Disciplined and focused, not impulsive

Forge the Man You Were Meant to Be
You are here for a reason.
Maybe it was a court order.
Maybe it was a crucible moment that forced you to take a hard look at yourself.
Either way - this is your line in the sand.
This is where change begins.
Why This Work Matters
How a man shows up in life is how he shows up in his relationships.
The way you handle stress…
The way you speak…
The way you react…
That is the man you bring into every relationship.
Patterns don’t stay isolated—they carry over into:
-
Intimate relationships
-
Fatherhood
-
Friendships
-
Work and leadership
This program is about more than meeting a court requirement.
It’s about changing patterns that impact every area of your life.
What We Do
We guide men through a structured, state-compliant process that challenges harmful behaviors while building:
-
Personal accountability
-
Emotional regulation
-
Healthy communication skills
-
Respectful relationship dynamics
-
Self-discipline and impulse control
-
Healthy relationship skills
Participants are not judged—but they are expected to take responsibility.
Our Commitment
At A Better Man Project, we don’t believe in labeling men—we believe in developing them.
We hold a clear standard:
-
You are responsible for your behavior.
-
And you are capable of changing it.
The Outcome
Our goal is not just program completion—it’s transformation.
Men who engage fully in this process walk away with:
-
Greater self-control
-
Stronger relational skills
-
A deeper sense of purpose and identity
-
The ability to show up with consistency and integrity
What You’ll Get
This program is designed to help you complete your requirement and build real-life skills.
You will learn how to:
-
Take full accountability for your actions
-
Recognize and stop harmful behavior patterns
-
Communicate without escalation
-
Build respect in relationships

Develop discipline and self-control
More Than a Requirement — A Standard
We believe in a different kind of masculinity:
-
Measured, not reactive
-
Strong, not controlling
-
Disciplined, not impulsive
-
Built on integrity, accountability, and character
How you show up in life is how you show up in your relationships.
This program helps you change both.
This Is Not Just a Program. This Is Training.
A Better Man Project is built on a simple truth:
Weak men react.
Disciplined men choose.
This is not about labels.
This is about ownership, discipline, and transformation.
You will not be shamed.
You will not be coddled.
You will be challenged to rise.

The Code of the Modern Day Knight
A man of strength lives by a code:
-
Accountability — No excuses. No blame.
-
Discipline — Control your actions, your words, your reactions.
-
Integrity — Who you are when no one is watching.
-
Respect — Given through behavior, not demanded through force.
-
Control — Power over self, not over others.
This is the standard.
What You Will Master
This is not passive participation. This is training.
You will learn to:
-
Take full responsibility for your behavior
-
Recognize triggers before they control you
-
Respond instead of react
-
Communicate without escalation
-
Build relationships based on respect—not violence or control
But understand this:
You can complete a program…
Or you can become a complete man.
Every man reaches a moment where he decides:
Continue the pattern…
Or break it.
This Is Your Turning Point…A Crucible Moment…A Reckoning
This is that moment.
The Process Is Simple. The Work Is Not.
Change doesn’t happen by accident—it happens by decision.
Step Forward. Take Ownership. Become A Better Man.
