Social services misandry

Where do you live (country).

In Australia there is a government sanctioned move to treat all men as potential perpetrators of violence against women, when everr men use health, mental health or social services.

Here's a summary I posted a while ago.

The Victorian government in Australia has introduced practice guidelines for health care professionals aimed at reducing family violence (The Family Violence Multi-agency Risk Assessment and Management (MARAM) Framework). Addressing the risk of family violence is commendable. But when assessing risk is infused with gender ideology, then the results are violations of human rights, and nothing to do with reducing family violence.

www.vic.gov.au/family-violence-multi-agency-risk-assessment-and-management

These guidelines require health care practitioners to assess all clients for their potential risk of initiating, or having initiated family violence. Once identified, this assessment will be shared with other health, legal and social agencies, without the knowledge or consent of the client.

The wording of the guidelines are clear. The risk factors that health care practitioners should be looking for is long and broad, but includes the following: first and foremost being male (the guidelines repeatedly state that men are perpetrators even when they are victims), seeking help for depression or mental health, seeking help for thoughts of suicide, any previous suicide attempt or self harm, being isolated from family, being unemployed, being disengaged from education, seeking help for substance or alcohol abuse, being recently separated or involved in a Family Court dispute.......

The list goes on. Some of the risks listed are genuine and compelling (prior domestic violence), but most describes any man who seeks professional help for even a minor mental health issue, depression or thoughts of suicide/self harm. In short, if you are male and seek help from mental health services in Victoria Australia, you are very likely forever logged as a potential family violence perpetrator across multiple agencies, including health, legal, family and charity services.

Once you have been identified as a potential risk, your rights to professional confidentiality and privacy are gone. Here’s what will happen to you:

Ongoing monitoring and oversight: Your risk factor or mental health crisis is logged, tracked, and monitored across the multi-agency system, without your knowledge and with no right to judicial review or reassessment.

Contributing to accountability: Formal risk assessment, mandatory documentation of your behaviours, and coordinated responses are designed to make it much harder for you to minimise, deny, or continue any alleged violence. This mean all your future interactions with informed agencies will be shaped by this anonymous, opaque assessment.

System-wide responsibility: Every relevant organisation, including mental health services, alcohol/drug services, and crisis lines, now have a duty to keep you “in view,” and report all your interactions with services.

Information Sharing: Your confidential discussions about suicide, depression, or relationship breakdown can be legally shared, without your consent, with other authorised services, including he Family Court, Child Protections Services and specialist Men’s Behaviour Change Programs.

Accountability-focused referrals: You may be referred to a perpetrator intervention program, even while you’re still in acute suicidal crisis, acute mental health state, depression state etc.

Protecting victims and children: The overriding priority of all your interactions with health care services will be ensuring any current or former partner and children are protected from you, the man.

So given the broad range of risk factors appear to cover nearly all the reasons a man may seek help from a mental health professional or service, every time a man seeks help in Victoria Australia, he is very likely being logged as a potential family violence perpetrator, his private mental health information is being recorded and shared across multiple agencies, and his future mental health interactions are prioritised for the potential benefits and safety of others, even if he is at immediate risk of self harm or suicide.

Bettina Arndt has described this in detail on her substack, and you should give it a read. This is very likely to becomes the practice guidelines Australia wide. So be prepared. Whatever you say to your doctor, counsellor, helpline, etc, may be recorded and used against you in the future.

My experience is there's a lot of "particular" women in social services, family law etc.

So it's a stack of counted cards against fathers. These women don't like men.

But then again no one is challenging this institutional bigotry. I've seen enough of it in university and these women come from sociology, gender studies etc.

The soc. serv. worker hasn't yet learned "what assuming does" and sadly, she probably never will.

"Fathers aren't necessary/needed".

"Fathers aren't around for their children anymore" (surprised Pikachu face).

Did you give them an earful? Everyone's got a boss, did you talk to her boss?

Just to clarify, did they mean "fleeing"...FROM YOU? As in trying to escape YOU, due to abuse, threats, imminent danger, etc? (I'm just making sure I read it right)

What the heck is a "child advisory service" ? You and your boyfriend need to put your petty bullshit aside and think of the kid first.
