Survivors are survivors. Believing this means recognizing that abuse impacts individuals no matter their background or who they are, and that all survivors deserve support and safety. This Technical Assistance Question (TAQ) offers concrete tips, guiding questions, and ideas for how to support male survivors – from before your first client reaches out to your program to debriefing with your supervisor after you close their file.

See more TAQs on the VAWnet News Blog.
