Support for men who are experiencing abuse
There are a number of organisations offering practical advice, information and emotional support to male victims of domestic violence, as well as to concerned friends, family and frontline workers. It can be very difficult for men to tell anyone that they are being abused by a female partner. Often men are worried that they will not be believed or seen as weak if they say they are being abused.
