Can domestic abuse affect heterosexual men?

We know that heterosexual men can experience domestic and violence and abuse, or witness this as children. Victim Support and Rise, who are working together with support from Sussex Police and Brighton & Hove City Council, have developed a care pathway for heterosexual men in the city.

• Contact Victim Support for help and support.

There are also specialist national helplines available for people experiencing domestic abuse, including heterosexual men.

• Contact the the Men’s Advice Line or the Respect Phone Line for information and advice.
