Domestic Violence Prevention and Support for Men
What is Domestic Violence
Domestic violence can be perpetrated in various forms, including physical, sexual or verbal abuse, harassment, intimidation, stalking, threats of violence or coercive control in order to maintain control over a person's behaviour, or to have them suffer emotional or physical torment and live in fear.
It can happen to anyone - it doesn’t matter where you live, what your income is, how old you are, or what nationality you are.
Children can also be affected by witnessing domestic violence.
If you or someone you know uses violence or any of the above in their relationships and needs help then It's Time To Talk.
Men - There is help available!
