Family violence from a man's
perspective will be the focus of an
informational forum to be held in
Exeter later this month.
The forum, called The Untold
Story - A Man's Perspective on
Family Violence, will be hosted by
the men's group Balance Beam at
the Exeter Lions Youth Centre on
May 23. Balance Beam co-founder
Tony Vorsteveld noted that
Balance Beam is a men's group
which works to help men with
men's issues, from difficulties at
work to relationship problems.
He noted that Balance Beam
decided to host The Untold Story to
show the male perspective on
family violence, which, he said,
"has been pretty well unspoken
since the feminist movement took it
on 20 years ago." He added that he
hopes the forum will also "help
dispel the myth of male power."
During the sessions, which will
run from 1 - 5 p.m. and 7 - 9 p.m., a
wide variety of speakers will give
15 minute addresses, and the
addresses will be followed by open
discussion among those in
attendance.
Minister Sharon Wurm will be
the facilitator for the event, and the
speakers and topics will be: Sheila
McCaffery, Program manger of
family services at the Children's
Aid Society, Huron County,
discussing the needs of children
and parent involvement; Robert
Kennedy, Ph.D. Sociology, York
University, on men's movements
response to the issue of family
violence; Karen Woodstra, free-
lance journalist and president of the
Men's Television Network, on
parent and children's rights; Steve
Easton, director of the Easton
Alliance for the Prevention of
Family Violence, an outreach for
men; Bob Carlidge, criminal
defence attorney, on difficulties in
the legal system; Michelle Hansen,
Women's Shelter and Counselling
Service of Huron and the Domestic
Assault Response Team (DART);
Dr. Doug Reburg, Huron Perth
Centre for Children and Youth.
Vorsteveld will also be on the
panel, discussing the personal
perspective on family violence.
Commenting on the choice of
speakers, Vorsteveld noted that
Kennedy did his thesis on the men's
movement's response to family
violence, while Easton's alliance
has reached out to 2,000 men, 60
per cent of whom were falsely
accused of assault. Speakers who
deal with women's issues were also
invited, Vorsteveld said, "because
they deal with the perspective that
society deals with."
He added that he didn't feel it
would be fair to hold a forum and
only hear from the men's side on
issue, and noted that perhaps this
forum will bring the two sides
together.
As to his address for the forum,
he stated he will be discussing the
stigma of the male batterer, and,
"what I believe are some of the
myths of the male batterer."
Brochures regarding the forum
have been distributed throughout
the county, with doctors, lawyers,
therapists, the Children's Aid
Society and at oter locations, as
well as with schools. Vorsteveld
stressed that all are invited to attend
the forum, and can do so by
registering with the Canadian
Mental Health Association, located
at Central Huron Secondary
School, or by calling 482-9311.
The cost for the forum is $20 per
participant, and the funds will be
used to cover costs for the event.
