At MateSpace CIC, we recognize the profound impact that domestic abuse has on men's mental health. In the UK, over 700,000 men experience domestic abuse each year, yet fewer than 1 in 10 seek formal help.
The effects are deeply concerning:
🔹 30% of male victims report emotional and mental health issues following abuse.
🔹 Su***de rates among men are significantly higher, with domestic abuse being a contributing factor.
This week, we emphasize the importance of community in supporting men's mental health. At MateSpace CIC, we provide a safe and confidential space for male victims of domestic abuse in the Arun and Chichester areas.
If you or someone you know is struggling, please reach out. You're not alone.
