Domestic violence harms men

Help is available for all men involved in domestic violence - whether they're dishing it out or on the receiving end.
Based on the Men's Health Forum's Domestic Violence man manual, new content on the organisation's website provides information for both perpetrators and those on the receiving end including useful address and contacts.
The message is simple: if you're violent at home, it is possible to stop and you can get help from people who won't judge you. And if you're receiving physical or mental abuse at home, you're not alone. It does happen to men and you don't have to put up with it.

The Men’s Health Forum need your support It’s tough for men to ask for help but if you don’t ask when you need it, things generally only get worse. So we’re asking. In the UK, one man in five dies before the age of 65. If we had health policies and services that better reflected the needs of the whole population, it might not be like that. But it is. Policies and services and indeed men have been like this for a long time and they don’t change overnight just because we want them to. It’s true that the UK’s men don’t have it bad compared to some other groups. We’re not asking you to ‘feel sorry’ for men or put them first. We’re talking here about something more complicated, something that falls outside the traditional charity fund-raising model of ‘doing something for those less fortunate than ourselves’. That model raises money but it seldom changes much. We’re talking about changing the way we look at the world. There is nothing inevitable about premature male death. Services accessible to all, a population better informed. These would benefit everyone - rich and poor, young and old, male and female - and that’s what we’re campaigning for. We’re not asking you to look at images of pity, we’re just asking you to look around at the society you live in, at the men you know and at the families with sons, fathers and grandads missing. Here’s our fund-raising page - please chip in if you can.
