ManKind Initiative – ACORN Recovery Programme

ManKind Initiative Charity’s team of expert qualified professionals (Independent Domestic Violence Advisers and Domestic Abuse Service Managers) along with input from survivors with lived experience and academics have created the first trauma informed Recovery Programme for Male Survivors of Domestic Abuse called ACORN which was launched in 2020.

It is designed to help them to:

• break the cycle of isolation and loneliness they experience
• recognise the impact that domestic abuse has on them and their children
• move forward with their lives
• form healthy, respectful and loving relationships in the future

This is an online programme delivered by Zoom, over nine weeks and up to 10 delegates can be accommodated. This programme has been academically peer reviewed by the UK’s leading experts and male survivors.

We are funded by The Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust to deliver this programme nationwide for men who are currently serving in the British Armed Forces or veterans.

As part of this programme we can also offer training, briefings and attendance at health & wellbeing events in person and/or online.
