NDADA will support all genders, including men experiencing domestic abuse.
Support for Men Experiencing Domestic Abuse
Domestic abuse can happen to anyone, regardless of gender. If you are a man experiencing domestic abuse, know that you are not alone, and support is available.
Recognising Domestic Abuse
Abuse can take many forms, including:
- Physical abuse: Hitting, pushing, or other acts of violence.
- Emotional abuse: Insults, humiliation, or controlling behaviour that damages your self-esteem.
- Financial abuse: Restricting access to money or misusing your financial resources.
- Coercive control: Manipulation, isolation, or threats to maintain power over you.
If your partner or someone close to you is making you feel afraid, isolated, or powerless, it is abuse, and it is not your fault.
Why Men Often Don’t Speak Out
Many men feel ashamed, fear they won’t be believed, or worry about being judged. Others may think they need to “stay strong” or protect their family. These barriers can make it hard to seek help, but abuse is never acceptable. You deserve support, safety, and respect.

We provide a safe and confidential space where you can:
- Talk about your experiences without fear of judgment.
- Access practical advice on housing, finances, and legal options.
- Receive emotional support tailored to your needs.
