Material Listing

Intimate Partner Abuse Against Men

This document, from the Canadian National Clearinghouse on Family Violence, summarizes the results of studies by researchers that have examined the abuse of men by their female partners in heterosexual relationships. The document discusses both physical violence and non-physical forms of abuse.

Men Abused by Women in Intimate Relationships

This booklet from the Canadian Alberta Human Services, Family Violence Prevention and Homeless Supports, offers information on working with male-identified survivors. The booklet defines abuse in intimate relationships and how to recognize it. It also offers information on how to recognize abuse, actions to take as a survivors of abuse, and how to safety plan.

Characteristics of Callers to the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men

This study, which focused on callers to a helpline that specialized in male victims of intimate partner violence, highlights the voices of male survivors who reached out for assistance and the type of victimizations they experienced at the hands of female perpetrators.

Transformational Collaborations: Considerations to Apply a Racial Equity Lens

A critical analysis of collaboration efforts that involve culturally specific organizations shows they often amount to little more than a referral network, function independently, and centralize leadership and control. This publication will help expose the subtle, yet insidious mechanisms that lead to the marginalization of people of color and culturally specific organizations, offer strategies to resist these mechanisms, and provide recommendations to transform collaborations into equitable partnerships.

Building a Culture of Trust

Workplace discussion on issues such as racism, ageism, and heteronormativity can be difficult even in circumstances where people have strong relationships and can assume goodwill. This document provides guidance to help organizations build connections that can foster trust; engage in the development of strong teams; and promote communication and development opportunities between and among staff when embarking on or building up their equity efforts.

Strategies to Recruit, Hire, and Sustain Diversity in the Workplace

While there is strong empirical confirmation that effectively recruiting, hiring, and retaining a diverse staff is positively correlated with increased organizational performance, many studies and surveys show that many organizations struggle to do so. This report offers suggestions for a more comprehensive recruitment, interview, and selection processes and provides a primer to think about and redesign the existing structures that impede inclusion and equity in the workplace and to create the foundation needed to sustain diversity.

WEBINAR: Reducing Violent Behavior

Survivors in contact with a partner or parent who is abusive cannot rely on leaving a relationship or physical separation to end the violence, abuse, or control. For them to be safer, the violent behavior must be reduced, and they’ll need options to meet basic need and be well. This webinar features Jacquelyn Boggess, Lisa Nitsch, Juan Carlos Areán, and Jill Davies in an important conversation about supporting behavior change, safety planning, and our advocacy.
