It really matters right now where you live. Currently, there are only a couple shelters in the US that offer such services, and there may be a few others in other countries.

You can check the SAFE webpage: http://www.safe4all.org for a list of local resources. Bear in mind there may be local services not on that list. Let us know if we're missing anything.

If you can't find any services in your local area, join our online support group, safe-support. Directions for joining that are also on the webpage.

I have to disagree with you, Nikki. I have been there, done that, tried to get help, they will not help. told me I could doante money, but do not bother them if I needed help. They were women organizations - not for men.
