All men and women who are experiencing or have experienced domestic abuse will need emotional support of some kind, but their needs will vary.
All men and women need to be listened to with respect and without being judged when they choose to talk about their experiences.
Domestic abuse also called "domestic violence", can be defined as a pattern of behaviour in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner. Abuse is physical, sexual, emotional, economic, financial, or psychological actions or threats of actions that influence another person.
