Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women

Mission statement:

The Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women (formerly Battered Men's Helpline) provides practical assistance in the form of a toll-free crisis line, referral services, and court advocacy support to victims of spousal or intimate partner abuse. Our goal is to expand these services to further include support groups and shelter facilities. The Helpline also advocates for the development of a comprehensive, coordinated approach to reducing all domestic violence, and works toward facilitating enforcement of the laws, policies, and procedures applicable to domestic violence. Although our focus is primarily on male victims of abuse, whose needs have traditionally not been addressed by other agencies, we are dedicated to promoting awareness by the public, and law enforcement and social service agencies, of the need to redefine domestic violence to equitably recognize and allocate resources to ALL victims of domestic abuse.
