AMIS (Abused Men In Scotland)
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. Until very recently AMIS was run entirely by volunteers.
We welcome calls from men in 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.
