Violence is not gendered. Women and men are abusers, yet men are generally nominated as the perpetrator and women are generally nominated as the victim/survivor. This results in no or limited services for men. Men report feeling underrepresented, misrepresented and alone in relationship matters. If society continues to treat these matters as gendered issues, it only increases the divide, creating more problems and solves nothing. If we want a different outcome, we need to do something different.
The facts for Australian men are clear and concerning. In Australia:
Relationship challenges, family separation processes and domestic violence against men, all have an undeniable negative influence on mental health and wellbeing. Men too deserve the opportunity to access services and products tailored to the male experience.
We here at Mens Toolbox acknowledge the gender differences in stress responses, listening styles and communication styles and how those factors influence relationships. We also acknowledge that women can be perpetrators too. Therefore, we believe a gender specific approach is required.
Our team of professionals provide evidence-based methods delivering education and tools to facilitate self-awareness to deal with life’s daily challenges and negotiate relationship ups and downs. Our aim is to help you to improve quality of life and increase self-awareness by learning more about you and how your personality, stress response, and recovery from stress; play a role in the relationship you have with yourself and those that matter. Whether it is prevention, early intervention, or treatment, we have you covered. You can find a current list of our services here: Mens Toolbox | Our Services (menstoolbox.org)
