MALE victims of domestic violence

Family abuse is sadly far too common. The British government estimates that some 2.5m people experience it in the UK, every year. And at least one third of that number are MEN. That’s more than three quarters of a million male victims of domestic mistreatment!

Male family abuse is particularly difficult to solve, because the survivors are often reluctant to come forward because of outmoded cultural barriers.

Often, they feel constrained by outmoded stereotypes, that “real men” are “strong” and don’t show their feelings.

Or there might be social taboos that prevent them from sharing family “secrets” with other people.

Our service was inspired by fellow survivors of family abuse to support people to break through these outmoded social bonds and rebuild their lives.

We have helped countless people to make a new start. And we can help you. Best of all, it’s a free service for clients. Read more about our pioneering work with MALE victims of domestic violence at www.find-a-friend.org
