expert recommendations for practical work with men* affected by violence
6. April 2022
Gemeinsam mit Kolleg*innen aus Gewaltschutz und Beratungspraxis hat die BFKM eine Sammlung von Arbeitshilfen und Checklisten für die praktische Arbeit mit gewaltbetroffenen Männern* erstellt. Sie kommen als Einzeldokumente bereits in einzelnen Einrichtungen unseres Netzwerks zum Einsatz. Wir möchten diese Arbeitshilfen wegen ihres praktischen Nutzens mit der Fachlandschaft teilen und damit neuen Angeboten den Einstieg in die Arbeit mit gewaltbetroffenen Männer*n erleichtern. Wir stellen sie deshalb allen bestehenden und im Aufbau befindlichen Männer*schutzeinrichtungen sowie interessierten Akteur*innen zum Download in verschiedenen Formaten zur Verfügung.
