Domestic Violence for male survivors
The YWCA West Central Michigan has been a place of hope, healing, and renewal since 1900. Today, our services work to address the issues of violence against women and children which undermine individuals, families, and our community. With comprehensive services, participation in community-based solutions and ongoing education, our vision is a community that demonstrates a commitment to creating a nurturing, violence-free environment for women and children.
The YWCA´s services are integrated to address the whole of a person´s experience. Whether you are hoping to enroll in Girls Inc. or are a survivor of domestic violence, sexual assault or childhood sexual abuse, the entire range of our services are available to you as appropriate. Unless it is noted next to a specific service on this website, a court-order is not required in order to find the help you need here.
If you are in immediate danger or feel unsafe, call 911.

At its core, domestic violence is about power and control. Consequently, men often find themselves as victims. Social stigma and stereotypes compound their victimization and further isolate them from accessing the help they need to stay safe.
The YWCA’s goal is to keep victims of domestic violence safe. Those who turn to us – regardless of gender – are provided support, advocacy, and safe housing.
