Male Domestic Violence Support
Whilst the majority of reported Domestic Violence is perpetrated by males there is a common misconception that male victims do not exist and that services are only provided for women and men's experiences are simply ignored. This is simply not true.
Launched in 2007, Arch Domestic Violence Services deliver an innovative project providing Outreach support for male victims of domestic violence.
The service available at Arch for male victims has developed 2 areas of support for the men:
- Helpline support - offers immediate support or if the client needs concentrates on short term support of up to 3 months. Depending on the men's needs this support can be reviewed after the 3 months. The male helpline is open every Tuesday, 4.30pm-6.30pm. The helpline support focuses on emotional support and information for the men who feel this as there priority at present
- One-to-one outreach support - this is a new and revolutionary service to the county and is available to any man within the Staffordshire County. The outreach service offers the men emotional/practical, information and advocacy support on a face to face basis
