    Please note that in this section, the primary focus during this phase of our service is supporting professionals who work with adult men who are causing harm in heterosexual relationships . We recognise that domestic abuse can also happen in same sex and transgender relationships, in some heterosexual relationships where men are the sole victims, and in family relationships. We intend to provide resources and support for professionals working with those groups at a later date on this website. In the meantime, please contact us if you are looking for support about a specific case. We will post links to resources and available support provided by others that we are aware of.
