Male Domestic Abuse

We understand that male victims face many barriers when seeking support for domestic abuse. In some cases, you may not even realise that you are experiencing abuse and it’s your friends and families that reach out for support.

If you are a male victim of domestic abuse, you are not alone, we are here to help. No matter what your background, age, job, race or sexuality, we are here to give all the support we can.

For many men, contacting us is the first step they have made in talking to someone else about the problems they face. Our Men’s worker is able to work with men around practical solutions to problems they may face as a result of domestic abuse including how to report incidents, safety planning, police procedures and other support services. We can also help with psychological support to boost emotional resilience, general support information and advocacy.

SWA do have access to safe accommodation for men, and support to access this is part of our role and also to offer support when you are in the accommodation.

Call us ‒ if we are unable to respond at the time of your call you can leave a message giving us a safe number to call back and the best time to call you. Or you can also email us with your telephone contact details and a preferred time to contact you.

We are committed to ensure that no victim of abuse should be left to suffer alone.

Together we can keep men, women, and children safe from abuse.
