Podcasts about intimate partner abuse

Resorting to physical force or other forms of coercion as a means of maintaining order in the household is considered oppressive and is therefore forbidden. Physical and mental injuries can persist long after an incident of intimate partner abuse has occurred. According to Islam, marriage provides its partners with security, safety, calm, and comfort. Any form of abuse is contrary to the ideals of wedlock. Abuse has no defense that is consistent with the teachings of the Qur'an and the life of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him).

In February 2020, there was a happy-go-lucky little girl named Keira, who suffered a terrible fate. She was killed, and the murderer was her father, who did it as an act of revenge. Keira's mother and stepfather, palliative care physician, Dr. Jennifer Kagan and family lawyer, Philip Viater, join us to discuss the legal reforms they have pursued around domestic violence, in hopes that no other family will have to experience the anguish they have.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Erin Coram, LMFT shares her professional and lived experience in helping survivors of intimate partner abuse/violence. Erin discusses misinformation, what to look for in the therapy room and the long-term impacts to health. Erin is a licensed marriage and family therapist and owner of a group practice in Indiana. Erin has been in practice for over 20 years beginning her career in Community Mental health, then becoming a clinical director of a residential facility community outreach for at-risk adolescents. Erin then launched her private practice Indiana Family Therapy Center, Inc. in 2008. In 2020, Erin teamed up with her business partner to open another group practice, Voyage Counseling, LLC. Erin also works with an adoption agency supervising the completion of home evaluations for adoption. In 2022, Erin launched Embrace for Impact, LLC where she provides coaching, consulting, community groups, retreats and speaking engagements. Embrace for Impact was born out of a passion for entrepreneurial healers and therapists with their own trauma stories. After a personal journey of owning her story of abuse and violence in her previous intimate relationship, she recognized the need for a place where healers can step out of the shame of secrecy of abuse and into the light of the strength within that it took to survive.  During this journey, she also discovered the high correlation between trauma and chronic illness and the additional complexity of treatment needs when trauma meets physical illness or injury.  As a type 1 diabetic who suffered extensive physical injury from assault requiring multiple surgeries and hospitalizations, she is passionate about educating our mental health and medical professionals about the complexity of working with victims/survivors of intimate partner violence and trauma.  These patients require patience, humanity, authenticity, safety and agency at the highest level to reduce the risk of re-traumatization/revictimization through medical interventions.  Erin empowers therapists to step into and own their stories and embrace their beautiful kaleidoscope of trauma and resilience to amplify their impact on the world. Being a therapist and a survivor of intimate partner violence does not make you a fraud or incompetent, it makes you human and capable of connecting in a very attuned way.  Erin is a member of and a fierce advocate of the LGBTQ community.  Erin is also a mother of two, a wife and a chronic illness warrior.  Erin believes that it is through the owning and sharing of our own pain and healing journeys and the connections we make with others that we can have a profound impact on the world.OFFERS & HELPFUL LINKS:Erin's website Counseling Community TikTokJennifer Agee coaching pageCounseling Community Facebook communityCounseling Community Instagram

She has workedwith women that have experienced IPA or childhood abuse extensively throughout her career, both individually and in groups, across private practice, hospital and community settings. Summary of research findings:This qualitative research project focused on listening to the voices of survivors of IPA and identified four key findings:1) Women witnessed behaviours by the perpetrator early in the relationship that they felt were inappropriateor concerning or that they simply did not agree with. However, they did not label these behaviours as earlywarning signs of abuse, even when they were already very familiar with warning signs of abuse.2) When women witnessed these inappropriate behaviours, they compromised or pushed down their internalreactions to them.3) Every relationship included perpetrators' intense charm, pursuit, love or excitement.4) Every relationship included perpetrators' controlling behaviours that imposed limits on the victim-survivor.These findings suggest that the socialisation of women (including prioritising their partner's needs over their own, maintaining the relationship at all costs, and a hope to be ‘swept up' in their relationship) creates a foundation thatcan be manipulated by perpetrators to further enhance their abusive tactics.There are important implications of this research for primary prevention programs going forward.Contact for Psychologist  Leanne Nunn.http://www.lmnunn.com/Link to Leanne's bookhttp://www.lmnunn.com/books/

According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, on average, in the United States nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner. During one year, this comes out to more than 10 million women and men. How does this relate to health care and what can you do if you're in that situation or have a loved one in an abusive relationship? Poorvanshi Alag, M.D., is an assistant professor in the department of psychiatry and an addiction psychiatrist. She talks to us about the link between an abusive relationship and addiction, the signs of an abusive relationship and what we can do to help victims of abuse.

Janine Latus is the New York Times Best Best Selling author. Her book, If I Am Missing or Dead: A Sister's Story of Love, Murder, and Liberation, is inspired by an ominous message written by her baby sister, Amy, in April 2002. Her note, carefully hidden in a desk drawer, reads, “Today Ron Ball and I are romantically involved,” “but I fear I have placed myself at risk in a variety of ways. Based on (Ron's) criminal past, writing this out just seems like the smart thing to do. If I am missing or dead, this obviously has not protected me…”  A short time later, Amy went missing. After an extensive search, her body was found wrapped in a tarp buried at a building site. As she had feared, Amy fell victim to gender-based violence, even though help was only a phone call away. Janine's book and her conversation with us are in honor of her sister, but it is also a call to help women break the cycle of intimate-partner abuse.

Technology, such as social media, apps, and text messaging, allows youth, teens and college students to experience relationships in vastly different ways from previous generations, as the connectedness of online relationships creates opportunities for personal development and relationship exploration. That same technology and connection also open up new possibilities for abuse that can diminish one's sense of agency leading to coercive control, potential safety concerns and possibly dangerous situations. Dr. Lauren Reed of Arizona State University provides us with the context for digital dating, how to identify and respond to abusive online tactics, and solutions for healthy relationships. Dr. Reed walks us through the empowering, youth-led research initiative, the Thriving Relationships Lab, that provides space for young people to process emotions and synthesize information as they navigate personal relationships online and beyond. This robust conversation offers resources for teens, college students, educators, service providers, parents and anyone with concerns about the future of healthy relationships in an increasingly online world.Digital dating abuse, as defined by Futures Without Violence, is "a repeated pattern of behaviors to harass, pressure, control, or threaten a partner you're seeing or dating using social media, the internet or mobile phones." DDA can manifest as an abusive partner: sending a text message that threatens your personal safety, checking your social media accounts or your phone without your permission or knowledge, tracking your location, monitoring your online activity, stalking. These are just a few examples of DDA. If you are experiencing DDA talk to an adult you trust, create a safety plan, contact your local support center or the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800.799.SAFE (7233), or Genesis at 214.946.HELP(4357). If you are in immediate danger call 9-1-1.

A history of mental illness, domestic abuse, and obsession leads to the brutal murder of a 30-year-old woman.

On this week's episode of Titillating Talks with Tiphany, I bring you in on an important conversation about minority women and domestic violence that I am having with my good friend, Maida Garcia.Maida helps me to understand the issue of domestic violence and intimate partner abuse from the lens of the minority community. She explains that too many times when a woman of color reports a domestic abuse crime, her reports go ignored. Likewise, when a woman of color goes missing, her disappearance rarely makes the news. We discuss how cultural views & a lens of privilege often creates an environment where women of color are not seen as victims that need to be helped and supported.October is both Domestic Violence Awareness Month & Hispanic Heritage Month. Now is the time to amplify voices of women of color and shine a light on the problem of domestic violence in their community.The following organizations provide support to women of color:Esperanza United- mobilizes Latinas &Latinx communities to end gender-based violenceNational Domestic violence Hotline- Free, confidential help is only a phone call away 24/7BELatina- News, entertainment, lifestyle for Latina'sWomen of Color Network- Centralizes the voices, wellness, and leadership of women of colorTo celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and to immerse yourself in the culture, Maida recommends these books:- Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel-Rain of Gold by Victor Villasenor- The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros-100 years of Solitude by Gabriel Garcia Marquez-Bless Me Ultima byRudolfo Anaya- Any book written by Isabelle Allende- there are too many good ones to list- Not Your Perfect Mexican Daughter by Erika Sanchez-Fat Chance Charlie Vega by Crystal Maldonado-Of Women and Salt by Gabriela Garcia-My Broken Language by Quiara Alegria Hudes- Colonize This by Daisy HernandezVictor Rios Ted TalkPlease contact me and let me know what you think of this episode:DM me on InstagramVisit my websiteJoin the Love & Life Membership communityPurchase #selflove merchandiseLet me know what you thought of this episode:DM me on Instagram: @tiphanyKane Come visit my website: www.tiphanykane.comGet your #Selflove merchandise

Host: Dr. Tara EganCo-host: Anna, teen daughterGuest Expert:  Bea Cote, LCSW, LMFTTara has a professional crush on Bea Cote, today's guest expert. Bea is here to talk about intimate partner abuse. She's the founder of Impact, LLC and Step Up to Family Safety, an organization created to provide services to abusers (typically men who who have physically and emotionally harmed others (typically their male or female romantic partners).Intimate partner abuse is a pattern of coercive controlling and physically abusive behaviors. In most all cases the pattern doesn't appear to anybody but the victim, and it often takes them a long time to recognize the pattern. The abuse never looks the same, so the victim "silos" the behavior--instead of recognizing it as a pattern, she sees each incident is an isolated incident and tells herself "but he's never done anything like this before." Bea notes that most abuse isn't criminal, as it's more complex than him "laying his hands on her." She doesn't want to see herself as a victim, she doesn't resemble the women on the billboards and she may not ever get hit.  And men often view themselves as the victim, particularly if women report the abuse. How dare she?Anna asks if men are ever abused. Bea discusses the nuances of the statistics noted in the media, noting that the data can be misleading as it's typically based on self-report. Bea shares data obtained by the local DV program here in Charlotte, NC, which reports that approximately 95% of reported abuse targets WOMEN. In homosexual relationships, men are abused by other men.Strangulation is a felony, and is an indicator of future murder. Police often mislabel strangulation as "choking" or refer to murder as "a crime of passion," which is complete bullshit.Tara, Anna, and Bea discuss jealousy, or obsession---which leads to men feeling as they own that woman. Jealousy is immature, often witnessed in teens. Teens "practice" adult relationships via dating, and unhealthy experiences can shape what they view as "normal" in relationships.How can we protect our teens from intimate partner abuse?1. Point out and discuss unhealthy (and healthy) relationships in media.2. Role model a healthy relationship at home, and recognize that your kids WITNESSING abuse is still child abuse.3. Reinforce that women are strong and capable, and there should not be a power differential in a relationship. We live in a patriarchal society; we receive intense messages that women are inferior.4. Dads aren't babysitters--they're parents.5. Teach your kids about what consent is--both boys and girls.6. Understand the role that internet porn has in misleading teens about sex. 7. Pay attention to your child's behavior & set boundaries if you witness your child engaging in unhealthy behavior within a romantic relationship.What's the manbox--how we define the role of men in our society? What pressure do we put on them to walk the line between "providing and protecting" and controlling? Link to the power and control wheel. Link to the National Domestic Violence Hotline. Link to the "hurtful and controlling behavior check sheet."THERE IS SO MUCH MORE IN THIS EPISODE, SO PLEASE TUNE IN AND SHARE.To learn more about Bea's ImpactDV program, visit HERE.To learn more about The Empowered Stepmother coaching group, visit HERE.To join our private FB group for parents of high schoolers and soon-to-be high schoolers, visit

Domestic violence often leads a therapist to determine that couples therapy is "contra-indicated", which may lead to treatment that could be helpful not being utilized. In this interview, John Hamel, PhD, LCSW discusses what the research tells us, and how his entry into the field of working with men who were domestically violent began with a model that was focused on men enforcing a patriarchy on women, but has evolved to consider the many ways that abuse manifests itself, from escalating conflicts fueled by poor impulse control and communication skills, to a pattern of domineering behaviors intended to control the partner, typically involving a personality disorder. John discussed how often men are vilified, and women are identified as helpless "victims", although the problem is much more complex. John explains how working with the couple together, the men individually, or in a group should be assessed, and that actually, working the couple may be a very effective means of repairing the couples' relationship and overcoming violence and anger problems. John Hamel, PhD, LCSW has authored several books on domestic violence including Gender-Including Treatment of Intimate Partner Abuse, Family Interventions in Domestic Violence, Intimate Partner and Family Abuse: A Casebook of Gender-Inclusive Therapy, and is currently editing the upcoming book, Beyond the Gender Paradigm: A Legal Primer on Evidence-Based Criminal Justice Approaches to Intimate Partner Violence. John provides therapy, oversees an anger management program, is an expert witness, teacher, and author. He has published numerous books, chapters, and peer reviewed research on the topic of domestic violence. For more information, you can go to his website at: www.johnhamel.net

content warning: harm, sexual assault, and repair What does the word accountability mean to you in the context of harming others? What does the words restorative justice mean to you in the context of alternative sexual communities? What advice would you have for folks who get accused of harming others? Intimacy can become interrupted in relationships for a lot of different reasons. One reason that is hard to deal with is Intimate Partner Abuse. It’s heavy, and often a situation where one party tries to control the narrative and exercise information control, often through repetition of one narrative or other insistence on a One True Story sense of what happened. Erasure and minimization happen. While these things tend to happen along gender lines, that’s not always the case. Accordingly, I try to stay as neutral as possible in these matters and my focus is typically two questions, “what’s going to be different moving forward?” and “how do we want to get there?” These situations are very complicated and teasing apart what harmful behaviours we choose to call abuse is hard. It’s also even harder when in out-of-balance relationships, it’s rare any one person is completely innocent. Deciding on focus and priority in a multitude of narratives is challenging and often our “gut feeling” in influenced by traditional power dynamics and in-group bias. That means we tend to favour people who look like us and we internalize society’s view of who “us” is meaning we disproportionately favour dominant culture individuals (read White folks, straight people, men, and/or cisgendered people). I’ve often said it’s not what someone has done so much as what they are doing with it. When there are allegations of some event in the past, as a third party it’s hard for me to staunchly throw myself in any direction and I’ve found in the past many communities fall into the same place of indecision that looks like apathy - yet many care about their communities and whether or not folks are harmed. If you can’t just believe survivors as being very likely honest about their personal narrative or their experience of events, ask yourself if the other person is behaving like a traditional abuser who has just been called out. It’s not that we expect people to be harmless in community; but we do expect them to be improving themselves. Someone caught in the trap of minimizing, denying, or erasing others’ - someone caught up in informational warfare, blaming the other party, or centering themselves as the truly harmed party, rather than acknowledging when we stub our own toes we can be at fault and be hurting - someone like that probably doesn’t need or deserve your support. Just my two cents. Please note I’m sick again in this episode so I might cough my way through it. Content warning if it isn’t clear already, we’re going to be talking about intimate partner harm including things like gaslighting. I think the content is useful for healing, but it’s my opinion that should be an informed personal choice. Let’s go to the session with Chelsey and hear her perspective on Accounting for Intimate Partner Harm.

Title: Bridging the gap between research and treatment in IPV intervention: The Association of Domestic Violence Intervention Providers Guest: John Hamel, Ph.D., LCSW. John has conducted and supervised BIPs since 1992 in the San Francisco Bay Area, He is the author of several articles and books, including Gender-Inclusive Treatment of Intimate Partner Abuse, 2nd Edition: Evidence-Based Solutions and is the Editor-in-Chief of the peer-reviewed journal, Partner Abuse.

HELPING ABUSE VICTIMS THE D.A.D WAY “Get a lawyer!” “Call the police!” “Just leave!”  All reasonable advice for a woman who is living with abuse, but it’s usually a lot harder than it sounds. Since some of the hallmarks of intimate partner abuse are isolation, intimidation, coercion and financial dependency, women who are trying to get away and get safe often find themselves all alone and powerless in the face of their abusers. And that means they are often in danger, or that they must stay or go back to the abusive man.  One ex-cop and process server saw his share of these scenarios and decided to help. Now there is a core group of men in Virginia who make themselves ready, willing and able to provide physical support for the women who find themselves alone and afraid. Trey Gregory was a police officer in the US Air Force as well as in the Roanoke City Police Department and is a graduate of the Cardinal Criminal Justice Academy, USAF. He started Domestic Abuse Disruption, Inc., an organization that helps abuse victims relocate, assists with stalker situations, provides escorts to court and is certified to assess the lethality of an abuse situation. That’s a lot of help for women who think they are alone. Join us as Trey talks about DAD, the folks who volunteer to help abuse victims, and how this and similar organizations are helping those who feel helpless. First airing on Saturday, April14, at 11 AM Pacific Time, and available thereafter through the archive at www.blogtalkradio.com/3women3ways.

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND MENTAL HEALTH           There’s a topic most people who work in the field of domestic violence don’t like to talk about too much, and perpetrators love to bring up. The connection between mental health and substance abuse is a very easy way to blame the victim in DV situations. But it is a topic that we need to understand. Dr. Carole Warshaw, MD, Director, National Center on Domestic Violence, Trauma & Mental Health, knows the subject and understands what is really going on in the areas of mental health and substance abuse when it comes to gendered violence. She explains not only the numbers and the types of problems, but also the latest research, including the NCDVTMH/National Domestic Violence Hotline Surveys on Mental Health and Substance Abuse Coercion. That study indicates the very high percentage of women whose mental health conditions are being used against them or who are being pushed into substance abuse by perpetrators. Most importantly, Dr. Warshaw explains the implications of these findings. Join us as we talk about Domestic Violence, mental health and substance abuse. First airing Saturday, December 30, at 11 AM Pacific Time and available thereafter through the archive at www.blogtalkradio.com/3women3ways.

Thema Bryant-Davis with Host Sharon Hargrave

Intimate Partner Abuse, shootings, war...all and more are the kinds of trauma that can be the undoing for some people. Yet some victims can grow from the experience, can thrive, and even come out better than they were before?  What make the difference and what can we do to help with growth after trauma? Richard Tedeschi, PhD, is an associate professor of psychology at Oakland University, has researched post traumatic growth. He will share his knowledge and experience about how we might even benefit after adversity.  

WHAT’S IN A NAME WHEN IT COMES TO ABUSE? It was domestic violence, then violence against women. Then came intimate terrorism, and then abuse.  Sometimes intimate partner violence, and now it’s gendered violence.  Are we talking about the same thing? Is this just semantics, or political correctness or do these names refer to different things?  Why the changes in terminology and what does it all mean? Merril Cousin is the Executive Director of the recently renamed Coalition Ending Gender-Based Violence and Michael Munson is the co-founder and Executive Director of FORGE, an organization focused on improving the lives of transgender individuals by building stronger connections, providing resources, and empowering growth through knowledge.  Both have many years working and leading in organizations that help educate and support those affected by abuse and sexual violence, and they will help us hash out just what these terms mean, why they change, and whether names are important when it comes to working against intimate violence and abuse. Join us Saturday as we talk about what’s in a name when it comes to abuse. Call in with your comments to 646-378-0430, or post your comments and questions in the chat room.

Victims of Intimate Partner Abuse often struggle with the courts and legal systems as much as they do with their abusers. The cost, the availability, the misinformation and lack of understanding they face as they try to find lawyers and work their way through the maze of courts, laws and agencies can be staggering. In Chicago, however, some victims are finding relief thanks to a virtual legal clinic offered by area lawyers and the Illinois Coalition Against Domestic Violence. The only one in the country, the clinic has been a resource for hundreds of women for the last two years. Vickie Smith. Executive Director of the lCADV since 1993, is a founding board member of the National Network to End Domestic Violence, and has worked with other state and national advocates to draft the historic 1994 Violence Against Women Act.  Vickie has worked with a number of agencies and criminal justice and health care professionals to develop community responses to family violence. She joins us to talk about the Virtual Legal Clinic - how it operates, who it helps, and the good it has accomplished in the last two years.

In this episode, our guest Dr. Venus Tsui describes the pervasive shame that male victims of intimate partner abuse experience and their common belief that the services that do exist aren't built for them. The resulting alienation and hopelessness present powerful barriers to seeking support. Dr. Tsui describes the extent to which existing services are utilized by men and which formal and informal helpers they find most beneficial.

Special Guest:Jeannine L. Lisitski, Executive Director of Women Against Abuse, has worked for more than 21 years in the public benefit sector, focusing on issues of poverty, violence and homelessness. Ms. Lisitski holds a Master’s Degree in Psychology and is a Ph.D Candidate (ABD), in Social Work and Social Research with a focus on homelessness.  Women Against Abuse, a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency, provides comprehensive services for victims of domestic violence in Philadelphia.

This week's show will feature journalist and distinguished author Philip W. Cook, author of multiple books on violence, on his latest: "When Women Sexually Abuse Men, The Hidden Side of Rape, Stalking, Harassment, and Sexual Assault."

This is a broadcast of a Panel Session called Meeting the needs of male victims of domestic and family violence, presented at the Australian Institute of Criminology's Meeting the needs of victims of crime conference held in Sydney on 19 May 2011. Part 3 of the Panel Session features Greg Andresen, researcher and media liaison with Men's Health Australia, presenting a paper called Meeting the needs of male victims of family violence and their children. Contrary to common beliefs, around one in three victims of family violence and abuse is male. While many services and community education programmes have quite rightly been established over the past four decades to support female victims of family violence, the needs of male victims remain largely unmet. Male victims of family violence and their children are one of the most underserved populations of victims of crime in Australia, with appropriate and tailored services being almost non-existent. This paper will present a brief overview of what is required to meet the needs of Australian male victims of family violence and their children. It will: Present the often unheard voices of male victims of family violence and their children Describe the specific experiences of male victims of family violence and their children (barriers to disclosing and finding support; different forms of abuse; impacts upon victims and their children) Review the scant support currently available in Australia for male victims of family violence and their children Outline the support required in order for the needs of male victims of family violence and their children to be met Discuss recent overseas and Australian support initiatives for male victims of family violence and their children that could be adopted more broadly.  Listen now (MP3) |  Download PowerPoint |  Watch presentation Elizabeth Celi: Greg Andresen has been working in the field of men’s health and wellbeing since 2004, both in Adelaide and in Sydney. He currently works as a researcher and a media liaison for Men’s Health Australia and as senior researcher for the One in Three Campaign which Greg will certainly give you a bit more information about. So please welcome Greg up. Greg Andresen: Thanks very much Elizabeth. I’ll start by talking a little bit about the organisations that I work for. Men’s Health Australia is a website that’s been running since 2007. It’s Australia’s primary source of information about the psychosocial well-being of men and boys. The One in Three Campaign was launched about 18 months ago. I’m Senior Researcher with the campaign. The aim of the campaign is to raise public awareness of the existence and needs of male victims of family violence and abuse.  What am I going to cover today? Often when this area is discussed – the area of domestic and family violence – people get lost in facts and statistics and numbers. I really wanted to let the voices of male victims and their children come through in this presentation – the human beings that are experiencing these dreadful situations. I’m going to look at the specific experiences of male victims and their children. Look at what’s happening overseas – there’s some really great initiatives that are happening overseas in terms of specific support initiatives for men and their children. I’m going to look at what’s currently happening here in Australia – what’s available. And then outline what we think is required in order to truly meet the needs of this group of victims of crime.  I’m not going to talk about violence against women today. I’m merely talking about male victims of family violence because they are an underserved population that unfortunately receives scant attention. What we believe is that both genders need and deserve appropriate support and especially, I think we’d all agree, the number one point is if we care about stopping children from being exposed to violence, we need to focus on both men and women.  I’m not going to be talking about intimate partner violence like Toni – I’m going to be talking about broader family violence. Of course that includes intimate partner abuse from current and ex-partners, both straight and gay, but it also includes often ignored victims of broader family violence: parents, step-parents, children, uncles, aunts, etc. Often when family violence is discussed, people assume we’re talking about intimate partner violence, but we really want to include all of those family relationships. I’m going to start by playing a short two-minute news report from the UK that interviews a couple of male victims just to give you some of the voices of those men and what they’ve been through.  [VIDEO] Reporter: The majority of domestic violence is committed by men against women. But now, an increasing number of male victims are coming forward. Men who are more aware of the help available and are more prepared to talk about the issue. The Montgomeryshire Family Crisis Centre in Wales is one place which provides a refuge. This victim escaped from his partner a month ago, fleeing with their three children after years of mental and physical abuse.  Male 1: I was threatened very aggressively by complete strangers that she had invited into the house. Alienated me from my family and my friends. I felt like I had nowhere else to go. I literally felt like I was trapped in there.  Reporter: This victim is one of the centre’s success stories. He’s now in his own home and has custody of his daughter after three-and-a-half years of violence from his alcoholic partner.  Male 2:  I would be asleep, she would come upstairs after she’d been out and the next thing I know I’ve got a fist being put in my face and things like that you know and that’s how the violence would erupt. The lowest point was when, you know, the baby was say a year old, the knives and things like that started coming out. I honestly believed she was going to kill me, I really did.  Reporter: But not all men find it easy to call for help.  Male 1: I don’t feel like a man because of what’s been done to me and what I feel I allowed to be done to me.  Reporter: While centres like this are doing good work, the challenge now is getting society to recognise men too can be victims of domestic abuse. Jonathan Samuels, Five News. [END VIDEO] Greg Andresen: You can really see from those interviews some of the issues that are faced by men when they are in this situation. There was a great qualitative study done by researchers in W.A. last year called Intimate Partner Abuse of Men, and it found that abuse of men really takes the same forms as it does against women. It involves a pattern of controlling behaviour and often involves multiple different forms of abuse, but it can really include the spectrum of abusive behaviours that we are all familiar with in the literature: physical violence, sexual abuse, psychological abuse, etc. The researchers also identified what they termed Legal-Administrative abuse, which is the use of legitimate services in a way that abuses the rights of the victim. For example, taking out a false restraining order to prevent the victim having access to his children. Now, on the right-hand side [of the slide] here in the blue boxes, I’ve put up some more quotes from men. These have come from the research literature or they have been left on the One in Three website. Read them if you’re comfortable with them, but once again, I really wanted those men’s voices to come through.  The impacts of family violence upon male victims. Obviously, there’s fear and loss of feelings of safety. That can be challenging for many men because they’re often raised to feel that they shouldn’t feel scared. And so to admit that fear is very challenging for many men. Feelings of guilt and shame is another big one. Once again, if men are raised to feel that they as men should be strong and tough and independent, there’s a lot of guilt or shame in admitting the fact that they are being abused.  Feelings of helplessness – we saw that in the video we just watched – the man feeling like he was literally trapped and had nowhere to go. Difficulties with trust, anxiety, stress, flashbacks. Unresolved anger is a big issue. Loneliness and isolation is huge for men who are victims of  social abuse and isolation. They really can lose all contact with friends and family and that’s especially debilitating for them because they feel they have nowhere to turn. Mental health impacts... there’s a good quote there at the top, this man really feels like his life is crushed and he has really lost his dignity. Low self-esteem and/or self-hatred is another big one. There’s another good quote there from Kevin feeling vile and dirty, not only because of what had happened to him, but what he feels society says about what’s happened to him.  And at the severe end of the spectrum we have depression, suicidal ideation, self-harm and attempted suicide. We have a number of stories that men have left on the One in Three Campaign website about their attempts to take their own lives.  Impaired self concept: once again it’s that challenge to the sense of manhood that male victims can go through. If men are raised to feel that they’re supposed to be able to deal with whatever is thrown at them and to take it on the chin, that can get… as this guy says, “It can get pretty heavy to carry around.” Physical injuries, illness and disability, obviously, and especially when weapons are used. Use of alcohol and other substances to self-medicate. Sexual issues. Loss of work can be a big issue. Just like with women, a lot of men who are severely abused really can no longer function in the workplace and so, for example, this guy Robin here ended up on a disability pension. Loss of home is another one. Often if men leave the situation that they’re in, they will have to start again. As do women, of course. This was the situation that was faced by Tad here. Loss of relationships with friends and family – once again, that’s that social isolation. Then there are the issues to fathers around their children. Many men fear that if they leave the situation they may not have access to their children – they may lose contact with their children – so many men stay for that reason. And many men have a protective instinct – they wouldn’t want to leave because their children will be left with the abuser and so they stay in the abusive situation in order to be able to protect their kids.  And lastly, in terms of the impacts on the men themselves, some violence against women campaigns, by suggesting that men are the only perpetrators and females are the only victims of family violence, this can actually re-victimise men who watch these campaigns and increase their feelings of helplessness, isolation, low self-esteem, depression, anger and that loss of manhood. There’s a good quote there by Peter about how him and his boys feel whenever they see those ads.  Impacts on the children of male victims: the literature is quite clear that it doesn’t matter if it’s mum hitting dad or dad hitting mum or another family relationship, if children are witnessing violence in the family, that’s abusive to the children and could cause them long term harm. And of course many children will also experience direct violence and abuse themselves. The long-term impacts on children include immediate impacts on their behavioural, cognitive and emotional functioning, their social development, and long-term harm to their education and employment prospects. There was a good study done, the National Crime Prevention Study – a survey of 5,000 young people nationwide – which found that in terms of predicting whether children who were exposed to violence would grow up to either be perpetrators or victims, the best predictor of perpetration was witnessing certain types of female-to-male violence. Witnessing mum hit dad was the best predictor for children growing up to use violence. The best predictor of victimisation was witnessing male to female violence. So if we’re going to break this cycle of violence, we really need to say, ‘no’ equally to violence against women and men so that boys and girls don’t grow up to either perpetrate or be victims themselves.  I’m briefly going to look at the barriers to male victims disclosing their abuse. Like women, men face a lot of barriers to disclosing their abuse. However, men face a set of unique barriers which make them much less likely than women to report: about a third to half as likely to report being a victim. I’ve grouped them into two basic areas: external barriers refers to the fact that many barriers are created or amplified by the lack of public acknowledgement that males can also be victims and also the lack of appropriate services out there for men. Men may not know where to seek help, they may not know how to seek help, they may feel there is nowhere to escape to, they may feel they won’t be believed or understood. If they do seek help, they may feel that their experiences may be minimised or they may be blamed for the abuse. They may fear they may be falsely arrested if they call the police because they’re the man and in that case, the children will be left unprotected.  Under internal barriers, once again, it’s those challenges to their sense of manhood. Because men are raised to feel that they should be independent and strong and be able to protect themselves, there’s a lot of shame and embarrassment about disclosing. There’s the social stigma of being unable to protect themselves. There’s the fear of being laughed at or ridiculed. The fear of being seen as weak or wimpy. And a lot of men will actually be in disbelief or denial of what’s happening to them or make excuses for it.  What’s happening overseas? There’s been some really good work done in Western countries overseas that we’re aware of. There are now dedicated telephone support lines for male victims of family violence in the UK, Ireland, the U.S. and Canada. For example, The Men’s Advice Line in the UK. There are some great printed and electronic resources available now which are available on the web to anyone in the world, for example, The Greater London Domestic Violence Project has a great booklet called, For Men Affected by Domestic Violence, and the Alberta Children’s Services in Canada put out a booklet called, Men Abused by Women in Intimate Relationships. These are great resources that men around the world can draw from.  There are a number of charities and support groups in the UK, Ireland, U.S. and Canada and India, for example, the Mankind Initiative in the UK. There’s some great community awareness campaigns especially in the UK. The National Centre for Domestic Violence, which is the main organisation around the issue of domestic violence in the UK, ran Male Domestic Violence Awareness Week in 2010 with lots of TV ads and media attention to the issue. And there’s an example there [on the slide] of a Scottish police campaign that was run at Christmas in 2009 with some male faces on it. There are shelters for men and their children now in the UK, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Denmark and New Zealand. For example, in Holland, Stichting Wende provides shelters in the four largest cities of Holland – government funded shelters – and all of those are currently full. And in the U.S., it’s not so much that there are shelters specifically for men and their children, but a number of women’s shelters have started taking on men and their children as well, for example, WEAVE in Sacramento County. And recently the Parliament in Taiwan changed laws so that welfare aid – financial aid – was available to male victims as well as female victims.  So that’s what’s happening overseas. What’s happening in Australia? There’s a fair amount of generic support available that both men and women can access: police, ambulance, legal aid, etc. However, generic support is often unaware of the unique issues faced by male victims because of the silence around this issue. So they are often unable to offer effective or appropriate help. And at the worst, some generic services may not believe men when they disclose, they may minimise their experiences or even blame them for the abuse.  And the Western Australian Research done last year surveyed about 200 service providers around Australia and they rated themselves and their agencies as only moderately effective in overcoming those barriers to men disclosing, so there’s a lot of work to be done.  What I’ve done here [on the slide] – I’m not expecting you to read this tiny font – but I basically went to the main domestic violence websites around Australia in all the states and territories and listed all of the services that they referred to there. So that’s a snapshot of what’s available in Australia today. The boxes in pink are women’s only services. So men, unfortunately, can’t access them. So we can remove them from the chart. The boxes in grey are the generic services I was talking about. It’s really a lucky dip as to whether men who approach those services get the appropriate support that they need. Another issue is that individual workers in generic services may be aware of these issues and may have training and appropriate skills, but their workplace cultures often don’t support them. So let’s remove those generic services.  What we have left are male-friendly services that are set up for men, but some of these don’t specialise in issues of family violence – they may support men around relationship breakdown or other issues. So, let’s remove those.  This is what we’re left with [on the slide] in terms of tailored, specific resources supporting male victims of family violence in Australia. So what do we have? Mensline Australia – the national telephone counselling line. Recently, the Federal Government committed three-quarters of a million dollars for them to train their counsellors to support male victims of family violence. That’s the first federal funding for male victims that we are aware of in Australian history. However, we don’t know if the funding has been allocated or who will be conducting the training or how appropriate it will be. Also, Mensline is often the only port of call for many men, especially in regional areas, because Mensline is a referral service and there’s often no services for Mensline to refer the men on to. And until the One in Three Campaign launched 18 months ago, Mensline only provided resources for male perpetrators, not for male victims. So it’s only recently that they’ve taken this issue on.  Men in Queensland are particularly lucky. They’ve got their own Mensline telephone counselling service. There’s also a court support service supporting men through the court process in Queensland. There’s a small service in the Hunter Valley that was established a year ago, maybe two years ago, to support male victims. Since the beginning of this year, police in Windsor in Northern Sydney have been referring men to the Hawkesbury District Health Service for counselling.  There are some great individual counselling services and practices like Toni’s and Elizabeth’s, but they can be harder for men to find, and sometimes harder for men to afford. And the last three dot points there [on the slide] are all websites. It’s great to have websites out there, but they’re no substitute for face-to-face services. In terms of professional development for workers in the sector, Greg’s going to talk about his program after me, so I’ll leave that to him. That’s the only training program we are aware of.  So, what is required to meet the needs of this group of victims of crime? The Western Australian Report from last year had four key recommendations. One is government-funded public awareness campaigns to raise community awareness for this issue – that it can happen to men. And they were really, really clear to say, these campaigns need to be very carefully designed so as to complement campaigns that are stopping violence against women and not damage the effectiveness of those campaigns. So we want to support men and women here. It’s not a competition.  The second point was to consider providing a range of publicly-funded services specifically for male victims. So, that would be a similar range of services that are available to women. Examples would be counselling, helplines, crisis response, community education programs, specialist services for different sections of the male population – gay men, Aboriginal men, CALD men, etc, financial support, legal advice. The full spectrum of services. They’re not recommending that as many services would be available for men as for women, but a similar range, so at least there are some services there for men to access. Also perpetrator programs for women which are relatively absent, and health service screening tools. In a number of states, when women come in contact with health services, they have a compulsory screening tool to see whether they have experienced domestic violence. Men aren’t screened at all and so men often fall through the gaps there.  The third recommendation is to consider how services for men could be integrated with women’s services and generic services. Obviously, some services would be able to be integrated and others may have to stay gender specific. The fourth recommendation was for training for workers in the sector especially around dismantling those barriers to men disclosing so men can actually come forward and tell their stories in confidence that they’re going to be trusted and supported and their experiences won’t be denied, minimised or questioned.  What else? We’d also recommend MP’s and public servants need training because they’re the ones who are writing the laws and rolling out the programs that unfortunately have excluded men in the past. Men need to be included in the National Plan to Reduce Violence Against Women and Their Children and all the systemic reforms that are rolling out across the country. At the moment, it’s acknowledged that men can be victims, but basically that’s it. They haven’t been included in any other way. We need better ABS and other data. The upcoming Personal Safety Survey is the gold standard of research in the country in terms of a broad community survey. There’s a new survey being planned for 2013 and it’s going to have three times the women’s sample compared to men, so the data on male victimisation is not going to be as good as for women. Finally, we need tertiary education courses so people who are going into social work, health and other human services actually get good training so that they have the skills to support men when they are working in their professional roles. My contact details are there [on the slide] and I’ll hand it back to you, Elizabeth. Thank you. Elizabeth Celi: Thanks very much Greg. If we can give Greg a round of applause please. It’s his second presentation. I think he’s done a fabulous job of pulling together a whole bunch of information. And obviously in terms of looking at methodological considerations and the unique experiences of men, whilst some of their abuse may be similar to the levels of abuse women may experience, there are certainly some unique experiences from the masculinity perspective, so please prepare your questions for Greg.
