Who we are

Support for men surviving domestic abuse

Abused Men in Scotland (AMIS) is a national organisation dedicated to supporting men who are experiencing, or who have experienced, domestic abuse.

We work with any man over 16 concerned about domestic abuse, regardless of sexuality, age, disability or ethnic origin.

We welcome calls from men in immediate need of support or advice and from men and women seeking help for male friends or relatives, or an understanding of what male friends or relatives may be experiencing.

What we do

AMIS works with any man over 16 concerned about domestic abuse, regardless of sexuality, age, disability or ethnic origin

We:

Provide an opportunity to talk things through with someone who understands many of the difficulties men on the receiving end of domestic abuse can face.

Offer support and information to men who are or have been victims of domestic abuse.

Help callers find further information or services if needed.

Seek out and cooperate with other organisations that can provide support for men who have experienced domestic abuse.

Provide presentations and training to organisations wishing to broaden their understanding of the issues faced by abused men and their children.

Raise general awareness about men's experience of domestic abuse.

Gather and disseminate research and other evidence on domestic abuse prevalence, causes and effects.

About us

In seeking recognition and the provision of services for men, and their children, who experience domestic abuse, and in highlighting the dire lack of such services in Scotland, AMIS does not seek withdrawal of funding from any support service for women who experience abuse. Domestic abuse is a serious blight on Scottish society and support services are absolutely vital in building a fair and safe Scotland.

AMIS Co-ordinator Post

We are delighted to announce AMIS has been awarded funding to employ a Co-ordinator to play a pivotal role in the development of AMIS and its services.

I was reeling from my experience and had very bad anxiety. It was great the night I spoke to someone at AMIS. I feel a wee bit more like myself again. It’s a great service.
