Support for men - Your Chance to Change

Your Chance to Change supports men who abuse their partners and want to change.

It can be hard to admit your behaviour is abusive but if you do any of these to your partner we can support you to change:

You physically hurt her - e.g. slap, kick, punch, shove or pull her hair.
You get jealous if she talks to other men
You control parts of her life - e.g. her money, who she sees, where she goes or check her phone or social media
You get angry if she doesn't want to have sex
You don't like her talking to friends, family or professionals like the GP
You scare her when you shout at her

Call us to speak to one of our team of social workers. We will listen to you without judgement and offer advice and support. What you tell us will be confidential unless someone is at risk of harm.
Together we will work out if our service is right for you - to support you to change your behaviour.
If you work with us, this might also involve support for your partner/family.
We will fit around your work or other commitments.
We will support you to make changes to your behaviour.
We will help you understand your behaviour and learn how to change it.
