Partner violence is a broad term that encompasses physical violence, psychological abuse, controlling behaviors, and sexual violence against one\u2019s current or former intimate partner.\u00a0 For almost 50 years, experts in the field of family violence have known that men are at risk for partner violence victimization from their intimate partners, whether their partner is male or female.\u00a0 My colleagues and I have been studying men as victims of all forms of partner violence for 20 years, and we have come to the firm understanding that partner violence against men represents a hidden health crisis.\u00a0 Why?<\/p>\n
As dire as all of this seems, my research team and I are hopeful that things are changing for the better.\u00a0 We are seeing more services devoted to men\u2019s partner violence victimization, and we are getting more requests to deliver specialized trainings to domestic violence agencies for how to work with men as victims. Thus, we are interested in learning about men\u2019s current experiences of partner violence victimization and help-seeking.\u00a0 We are recruiting men for our latest study on men\u2019s partner violence victimization.\u00a0 If you or someone you know may be eligible, please pass along the below advertisement for our study.<\/p>\n
