What does support look like?

It takes strength and courage to admit to using violence or control. You should not under-estimate how hard this can be. This is the first step towards changing your behaviour and being the best man, partner, spouse or family member you can be.

The Men’s Referral Service can have a conversation with you, help you with some short term tactics, and put you in touch with some supports that can help you along your journey.

“I said I was sorry and it would never happen again, but if I ever raise my voice now I can see that look in her eyes. It’s still there, in the back of my mind. I don’t want to scare her anymore.” – Stefan
