The Men's Experiences with Partner Aggression Project is a research study at Clark University and is funded by the National Institutes of Health. Denise A. Hines, Ph.D., Clark University Department of Psychology, is the lead researcher on this project. She is conducting this project in conjunction with Emily M. Douglas, Ph.D., Bridgewater State College Department of Social Work and the Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women (DAHMW).
The goal of this study is to better understand the experiences of men who are in relationships with women who use violence. Research has shown that men are at risk for sustaining partner violence in their relationships, yet few studies have investigated their experiences, and there are few resources available to such men. This is an under-recognized problem in the United States, and by conducting this research project, we hope to provide much needed information on these men, their relationships, and their needs.
Participants have the option of filling out the study survey online or by calling a toll free number. Visit www.clarku.edu/faculty/dhines to participate online or call us at: 1-888-743-5754 or email us at: dahmwagency@gmail.com to obtain the toll free number.
Your participation in the study as well as your contact with DAHMW will be kept strictly confidential.
Jerry Miranda and his children lived in constant fear and danger for over 25 years. For most of those years what was going on behind closed doors at the Miranda house was a deep, dark secret. Unable to live with the secret anymore, Jerry began sharing the nightmare that he and his children were living with others, hoping to receive some guidance and support. No one would believe a man could be abused by a woman and no one would help him...until one day...finally...everyone believed him. (Click the box to view)

As part of our ongoing effort to bring more public awareness to the plight of abused men and spread the word about our toll free helpline and services for men in relationships with abusive women, we have created an informational poster.
The 11 x 17 poster is printed on 80lb gloss cover paper and at the bottom right hand corner of it is a small pad (25 sheets) and each sheet has our agency's name, helpline number and website address printed on it so that someone in need or a family member or friend can easily tear a sheet off and take the information with them.
Help us spread the word by putting these up in your local area today! Place them alongside other social service informational posters, i.e. in courthouses, hospital ER's and church bulletin boards etc. Let everyone know that when men are emotionally, psychologically and/or physically assaulted by their intimate female partners it's also domestic violence and unacceptable.
The suggested donation for each poster is $4.50. Any money we receive from the sale of these posters will go right back into public awareness and services for victims. To obtain copies to put up in your local area to bring more awareness to this much ignored and hidden side of domestic violence please write us at : dahmwagency@gmail.com or call 207-683-5758.
