02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Abused Men in Scotland (AMIS) provides specialist support to men aged 18 and over who experience domestic abuse across Scotland. We deliver a confidential national helpline and email support service offering emotional support, risk assessment, safety planning, and practical advice to men who are experiencing physical, emotional, sexual and financial abuse, coercive control, and post-separation abuse. Many of the men who contact us are living with fear, isolation and trauma, often alongside mental health distress, financial hardship, housing insecurity, and the impact of family separation. In addition to direct support, we work with statutory and third-sector partners including police, housing, health services and social care to improve understanding of male victimisation and strengthen responses to men affected by abuse. We provide training, consultation and information to professionals, and awareness-raising to challenge stigma and improve access to help.
