Hi Peter,

I work at the National Clearinghouse on Family Violence (NCFV) at Health Canada.
The NCFV is a national resource centre for all Canadians seeking information
about violence within the family and new resources being used to address it.

In a few weeks, a new publication entitled "Husband Abuse: An Overview of
Research and Perspectives" will be released. As well, a revised 1999 version of
"Canada's Treatment Programs for Men who Abuse their Partners" will be ready in
a few months (the 1998 version is currently available).

If you're interested in these resources, please call our toll-free number
(1-800-267-1291 or 613-957-2938) and ask to be put on the waiting list for these
publications. We also have a listing of our publications that you may be
interested in. Each resource is described in a bilingual format.

Hope this is helpful.

Take care,

Lianna Ferran
Program Officer

Subject:  Re: Domestic violence




Annick,

Sorry this reply is so late.

Do you have examples of work in Canada with males
around issues to do with domestic violence, e.g.
- perpetrator counselling programmes
- community education projects to raise awareness of
the effects of dv on young peole and children
- multi-agency development work to integrate working
with males into mainstream dv agency activity.

I'm involved in Action Against Men's Violence -
Sheffield that operates this 3 stranded approach and
there are a number of other UK-based projects that
work with males, too.

No need to respond urgently.

Cheers, Peter.
