Support and Advice For Men {15 Jan 2012}
|
Men experiencing domestic abuse now have a helpline aimed specifically at supporting them, the helpline was launched in June. It is provided by North Derbyshire Domestic Abuse Outreach Services. During office hours they can be contacted on telephone number 01246 551889, and out of hours on 0800 019 8668,
The Derbyshire Support and Advice for Men helpline, SAM, is tailored to helping men who are being abused by someone close to them, for example their partner, a parent, a sibling or other family member.
Keeping children safe, housing and financial issues will be just three areas where trained staff will be able to help, as well as helping men to get involved in their community and find further education, training and employment, in some cases.
"Generally it is understood that many men prefer to communicate by phone, text and email, to get information and guidance for something specific and through SAM they will be able to do that.”
As well as this service, there will also be a website and men will be able to text and email for help if they prefer doing this rather than seeking face-to-face advice.
