Where can I receive help and support?

If you are an abuse victim, please ask for help. No one should have to be afraid or feel unsafe in his or her relationship.

In general, local domestic violence organizations provide services to all survivors/victims of domestic violence, including male victims. Most organizations provide services regardless of actual or perceived sex, race, color, religion, national origin, gender identity, sexual orientation, or ability/disability. If you are unable to find an organization that is a good fit for you, you may want to consider contacting the domestic violence coalition in your state. They can try to help refer you to services that may better suit your needs.

There are also a few national organizations that were established to help men, specifically; see our National Organizations - Male Victims page.
