It's time to challenge the stigma. 🎙️
Male domestic abuse needs to be heard, understood and taken seriously.
📅 Men Unmuted launches Monday 2 November. #paullavellefoundation #communitysupport #maledomesticabuseawareness #abuseisabuse #viralreel

Men and boys matter. The quality and consistency of care they receive matters.
Use a specialist agency - because they deserve nothing less.
The risk they live with deserves real and measured support because that risk is shared by the Agency once they tell their story @CVOCNI

40% of domestic abuse victims are male… isn’t it about time those at the top had a conversation about this?
Ignorance fuels male silence, silence fuels their abuse @andyburnham

Andy Carroll’s decision to share his experience in his latest book is a powerful and courageous step.
Speaking with both LBC and ITV, our CEO, Duncan Craig OBE, reflected on the significance of Andy’s disclosure and the impact it may have on other male survivors.
When someone in the public eye chooses to speak openly about their experience, it can help others feel less alone, recognise parts of their own story, and see that support is available.
Every male survivor’s journey is personal. No one should ever feel pressured to speak before they’re ready, we encourage people to reach out for support when they need it.

Below our survey results from men in our service, proof that where there is support men will heal, sadly male victims are starved of support, we need more, it has to start at the top

Coercive control looks different from person to person - this can be confusing and although you can feel the increasing restrictions of it, it can feel hard to explain to others

BBC Panorama helped bring the experiences of parents affected by the CMS into the national spotlight — but this is only the beginning.
Coverage is only valuable if it leads to action.

I welcome today's letter from chief constables and agree that current early release plans do not adequately protect domestic abuse victims or the public.
I want govt to ensure that no abuser leaves prison without a proper assessment of the risk they pose to their victims. 1/2
