"The Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women (DAHMW) was founded in October 2000. Since that time we have had thousands of calls come into the helpline from Maine and around the country. We are a unique organization in that we specialize in offering support and services to male victims of spousal and intimate partner violence. Though we specialize in this area, our support and services are not limited to helping abused men. We also receive calls from female victims in heterosexual and same-sex relationships and offer them the same support.Volunteers Needed Domestic Abuse Helpline for Men and Women, a nationally known non-profit organization, is looking for volunteers to assist victims of domestic abuse.

I'd like to meet:

*Always keep a record of dates and times of incidents. *Always report the violence to your doctor ensure that they record your injuries and all the details of the assault *Always seek medical attention for any injuries - do not cover up the true cause. *Always take legal advice *Do tell your family and friends what is happening to you. *Do not be provoked into retaliatingDomestic violence sometimes referred to as domestic abuse or intimite abuse occurs when a family member,partner or ex-partner attempts to physically or psychologically dominate another. Domestic violence often refers to violence between spouses, but can also include cohabitants and non-married intimate partners. The term "intimate partner violence" (IPV) is often used synonymously. Other terms include wife or husband beating, battering, "relationship violence", "domestic abuse", and "spousal abuse". Family violence is a broader definition, often used to include child abuse, elder abuse, and other violent acts between family members. Domestic violence occurs in all cultures; people of all races, ethnicities, religions, and classes can be perpetrators of domestic violence. Domestic violence is perpetrated by, and on, both men and women, and occurs in same-sex and opposite-sex relationships. Awareness and documentation of Domestic violence Domestic violence has many forms, including physical violence, sexual abuse, emotional abuse, intimidation, economic deprivation or threats of violence.Physical: Are there signs of injury from hitting, punching, strangulation, kicking? Are there signs of damage to the home from objects thrown or destroyed â€œin angerâ€? Emotional/Psychological: Do you hear yelling? Are insults, threats, or degrading comments regularly used by one partner to the other? Power and Control: Is this a relationship where one partner has all the power and control? Is one partner kept from seeing friends or family? Is one partner extremely jealous about anything the other does or who they know? Is one partner overly possessive of the other? Does one partner control all aspects of family finance? Does one partner control what the other wears â€“ how they act â€“ where they can go â€“ whether they can work?
