Domestic violence affects individuals of all genders, and recognizing the experiences of male survivors is an important part of raising awareness.

According to the 2021 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), 29.3% of men report experiencing at least one incident of physical violence by an intimate partner during their lifetime.

At CareSouth, we are committed to promoting awareness, encouraging open conversations, and supporting individuals and families affected by domestic violence.

Together, we can help break the stigma and remind survivors that their experiences matter and support is available.
