We have a deeply thoughtful and topical talk from Dr Elizabeth Bates for our Psychologist in the Pub event this May.
Current research and statistics support that there are significant number of men who experience domestic violence from women in their intimate relationships. However, societal perceptions of this issue are often that men’s size and strength means they don’t experience the same level of physical violence, and that generally it is less impactful for them when compared to women. The aim of Liz's talk is to discuss men’s experience including reference to a recent study that revealed men’s experiences of physical and sexual violence, and controlling behaviour related to their friends and family, children and the concept of “gaslighting”. This will be linked to specific issues men face when trying to get help and support including personal barriers and obstacles within service provision.

The talk will begin promptly at 6.30pm, please arrive with enough time to order drinks and get seated. This talk is brought to you by the British Psychological Society.
