Media Professionals

Researchers and students
The Men's Advice Line is a confidential, anonymous helpline. Therefore we cannot provide access to male victims of domestic violence for interviews. Also, due to the high volume of enquiries we simply do not have the resources to give interviews or complete research questionnaires. Please explore the comprehensive document library of our website for research papers and reports. This section is regularly updated as we receive research and documents of interest.
