Hello, my name is Hayden and I'm a volunteer for the Canadian Association for Equality (CAFE). we are one of the few organizations that provides services to men in need in Canada. we have service centres in Toronto, London, & Ottawa Ontario. we are also working on a fourth center to be located in Calgary, Alberta. we are also working to build the first domestic violence shelter in a major metropolitan location in canada for men and their families.

This is Justin Trottier. I am very sorry to have missed this discussion over the last day. Thanks for the great questions which I hope to address over the next few days. At the moment, we are working around the clock to successfully conclude our crowd-funding campaign to open a shelter for abused men and children in Toronto, which we believe could be a model for similar places across North America. I hope you don't mind me cutting to the chase but we have 2 days left to conclude this campaign. P…

Yes, you can find a list of CAFE branches by visiting http://www.equalitycanada.com and then selecting the "Find a Branch" button at the top. You can find a list of our Canadian Centre for Men and Families locations at http://www.menandfamilies.org and selecting "Find local CCMF programs and services" from the top right. And you can certainly contact me at [email protected]. If we don't have a location in your community, then we want to build one with you!

We really do need to work together to build more shelters. The Canadian Association for Equality is a charity that is fundraising to open a shelter for fathers and children who have been abused, the first of its kind in Canada. You can make a charitable donation to our GoFundMe Campaign. I cannot include the link here, but it is contained in our original post above. If you give by December 31st, we'll double your money!

If anyone is interested in supporting our work we're not only after funds :) We could use volunteers all across Canada and if you're outside the country we are happy to introduce you to organizations that are similar to us philosophically in other parts of the world. I linked to this photo in one of my responses, but I wanted to share it again here. We really do have a terrific team we want you to join https://i.imgur.com/wrmqhOv.png

Our aim is not to be provocative. Our aim is to improve people's lives. If that means hosting events or engaging in activism that is seen as provocative, we will not shy away from it and we will take it head on, but we do not exist simply to provoke.

Absolutely, and we do. One of our Ottawa executives (remember, we have branches in 11 cities!) is big into the Men's Sheds movement and he is working to coordinate some joint activities between our organizations. We do a lot of this kind of collaborative work. For example, we are working with a psychiatrist with the Fathers Health Network in Toronto to bring mental health educational events to Toronto university campuses!

Thanks Holliejollie, and I appreciate the question, although I don't want to make too much of my own history. It hardly compares to what others have been through. I can tell you about the men (and their female loved ones) whose stories risk breaking one's heart - children being poisoned and turned against their father, men living with horrendous abuse on a near daily basis, one teenage boy whose dad is a client of ours was bullied so badly he took his life. In comparison it seems inappropriate t…

Keep posting! I'm trying to get to all your questions, but I am new to reddit, AMA (and brevity, apparently). And please keep the contributions coming. We have only 4 days to close this campaign and match up to $50,000. There is such need for this shelter. Please give what you can via the GoFundMe link above.

It's a question we've been considering as we develop the operational plan for the shelter. As we've discovered in our research, Violence Against Women shelters are deeply embedded within a wider victim support network. VAW shelters have a direct line to Children's Aid Society, the Victim Witness Assistance program, access to family and criminal lawyers, etc. This is why opening a men's shelter, and joining this community is so critical to change the conversation around gender and victimization. …

Hi Cromag69, please check out my response to a similar query from mensRthroaway. In essence, if we're letting this discussion be dominated by anger and hate, then we're not making progress for anyone, neither men nor women. That's why we focus instead on building alliances with women's and feminists groups that are focused, as we are, on a positive agenda to improve the health and wellbeing of all people. Toward that end, we were very glad to receive invitations from a number of women's groups o…

Each shelter does have a somewhat different philosophy and outlook, but we're working closely with many of them. In fact, Toronto shelters work very closely together to offer the best possible service to those who need it. We're proud to be part of this larger community. I should also briefly mention that that community embeddedness also includes many other supportive agencies: victim services, family services, police, legal aid ontario, CMHA, CAMH, etc. If we did not have these partnerships we …

Thanks Imnotmrabut (and interesting reddit handle!), I cannot say there is any one individual who inspired me, but there are many. Maybe this is a cliche answer, but that's too bad because it happens to be true; I greatly admire Nelson Mandela. I love his quote "it always seems impossible until it is done." I repeat that to myself a lot. In this area specifically I think Earl Silverman stands out. As a Canadian who put everything he had - up to and tragically including his own life - into buildi…

It's a very fair question esault17 and one without an easy answer. I think a lot depends on how we define our "own community." Let's start with what I affectionately call the "CAFE family," which incorporates our Board of Directors, our Branches, our Canadian Centre for Men and Families staff, and those who hold a volunteer portfolio with the organization. We're talking about several hundred people here. We have a volunteer Code of Conduct, a Statement of Values and other very typical operating …

Anything that takes our attention away from serious issues, or undermines our ability to improve people’s well-being is a problem. Do I worry that there’s a risk of that when people are motivated by strong negative feelings? Yes I do. But I’m equally worried that we may choose to ignore serious substantial issues by giving too much focus to the angry extremes. There are angry extremes in all social movements, including the men’s rights movement, the feminist movement, the LGBT movement, the envi…

It's interesting to consider this question Doopers. When I co-founded CAFE I was worried about how it would affect everything else that was going on in my life at the time. But now I view my work with CAFE as the most important thing I could have done with my last 5 years and I am supremely proud to tell everyone I know. But to answer your question directly, I would say the team we have managed to build has to be my proudest accomplishment. We have men and women all across the country from every…

Thanks Muchachos17. A shelter for abused men will play an important role here as it will change the conversation around gender and victimization and send the signal to men that there is a place for them if they have experienced family violence. Please help us get the word out about our fundraising campaign.

It is absolutely critical that we get balanced, peer reviewed and evidence-based research out to the public. That's why we are registered as an educational charity. At our core our mandate is to affect public attitudes. That will create growing body of concerned citizens that is both educated and empowered to make a difference, in both the social service and public policy domains. We have some research reports that are linked to important scholarly work available through this link: https://equal…

Thanks Badgerz92. I mentioned in another response that I was quite involved in a number of other social advocacy causes and cut my teeth as an activist/public speaker/troublemaker in those environments. These would include much advocacy around LGBT issues, women's issues, environmentalism, civil liberties, human rights. I honestly don't want to say too much about me personally, because we have hundreds of the most dedicated volunteers I have ever had the pleasure to work with and it's really abo…

One of the critical elements that makes our shelter unique is that it is a family shelter. It will be open to all kinds of families. We will of course welcome single men, but we will have accommodations for larger families as well. It is true that most of the shelters for abused women have policies requiring that males cannot stay in the shelter once they reach a certain age. Without critiquing that policy, we anticipate taking a different approach. It’s been our experiencing at the Canadian Cen…

I came into my work to improve the health and welfare of boys, men and fathers through prior involvement in other social advocacy causes (some might say social justice) \in which the issues and perspectives of men and boys were frequently the unstated "elephant in the room." It always seemed to me that everyone would benefit if we integrated everybody in our work to achieve equality. That core philosophy centred on equality is reflected in the organization's name: Canadian Association for Equali…

Thanks for the question Male_Positive. Check my response above to a question from wistonbeelze. We're not counting on the support of any one agency. That's too risky. However the more sources of funding we receive the bigger the shelter will be (that means more families are safe!) and the more programs we can run. So obviously the government can make a critical difference, but they are ultimately not mission critical. As described above, the strategy is to go to government with a clear funding r…

I would be shocked if anyone protested a shelter! Remember protests are few and far between, although they account for a disproportionately high focus for media reports. We have had no protests or pickets outside the Canadian Centre for Men and Families, where we have been running men's health and social service programs for over 3 years.

Yes we have referred clients to them. We have a database of about 600 agencies across Canada that we have either accepted referrals from or referred out to. Many of these are in Toronto, but there are lots associated with our 10 other branches across Canada. Our approach is extremely collaborative. Let me give you a sense of how much we work with the community. These are the agencies that send representatives (many of them as speakers) to this year's Healing Journeys conference, our annual event…

We have some good precedents. Although this is the first shelter in a city of over a million people, the first in Ontario or Eastern Canada, it is not the absolute first in Canada. The Men’s Resource Centre in Winnipeg provides a shelter for men and their children who are fleeing domestic abuse. In the last 12 month period, they registered 830 bednights for men and children. This included 47 men and 60 children. They are regularly at capacity. Meanwhile the Taylor House in Batesville, Arkansas, …

Come hell or high water, Toronto will open its first Family Shelter for Abused Men and Children opening in 2018. Now I should be clear. The government has not definitely ruled out funding the project. In fact, they will consider our proposal. But since governments have been very risk averse with respect to funding men’s programs, we aim to break that historic inertia by doing something a bit different. We want to show government support the project has from the public first. That's why we're rai…

If our opponents and the media want to hold us to a higher standard, that’s fine, instead of sinking down to the level of some of our nastier critics we try to take the high ground. Let’s set the example and raise the bar for all those engaging in gender advocacy. We want to show the public that’s it’s possible to discuss the most sensitive issues with respect and diplomacy but without shying away from disagreement.

Good question! Although the protests (occasionally riots) dominate the headlines, they are very few and far between, are limited almost exclusively to university campuses, and in fact no attempt to disrupt an event has occurred for over a year now. But given the degree to which certain elements in our society set themselves in opposition to our cause, whether through accidentally misunderstanding our motives or intentionally fabricating stories, it would be easy to become bitter, cynical and def…

Thanks so much for your terrific questions.
