Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women
The Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women is a national nonprofit founded in 2000 in Harmony, Maine. Our agency was established to complement the traditional domestic violence shelter programs that specialize in services for women abused by their male intimate partners. We specialize in offering supportive services to men abused by their female intimate partners. However, all who call us, whether they are male or female in a heterosexual or same-sex abusive relationship, are offered the same respect and support because no one deserves to be abused.
