'Support and understanding' available for men in Carlow experiencing domestic abuse

Men in Ireland are often forgotten when it comes to domestic abuse, often represented as the perpetrator but not as the victim, yet 1 in 7 men will be affected by domestic abuse in their lifetime.

The Bagenalstown Resource Centre want the men of Carlow to know we see and hear them and there is support available.

We believe that men are reluctant to come forward which is also impacted by lack resources available to them.
