The official website has a whole heap of good material, including a donation page, the link to their campaign for men to swear an oath never to commit, never to excuse, and never to remain silent about violence against women. Crucially, there is also a link for where to seek help.

Thanks for the links! I thought Andrew O’Keefe’s piece in the Age (as well as the accompanying cartoon) was really quite good. http://www.theage.com.au/opinion/society-and-culture/men-swear-to-change-20091124-jhau.html
Have just added this fantastic speech from Patrick Stewart about growing up with domestic violence to the post. I know this post is two weeks old now, but it just seemed the most appropriate place to put it.
