Wise Guys – support for men affected by domestic abuse

Wise Guys is our trauma-informed recovery programme for men who have experienced domestic abuse, supporting them to heal from trauma, rebuild confidence and improve long-term emotional wellbeing.

The programme is delivered over 12 weeks, either face to face in Hertford or online, and includes ten free weekly counselling sessions. The service is self-referral, so you do not need to speak to your GP or be receiving other mental health support – simply complete our online referral form or contact us to arrange an initial assessment.

Breaking down the barriers

Domestic abuse against men is real – and it is happening right now. Too often, men feel unable to speak out, unsure where to turn or worried they won’t be believed. We want to change that.

At Future Living Hertford, we are committed to breaking down stigma and challenging the barriers that stop men from seeking support. Our trauma-informed approach creates safe, respectful and confidential spaces where men can begin to recover, rebuild their lives and move forward with dignity, strength and hope.

If you are willing to share your experiences or insights, you can do so in complete confidence. You do not need to give your name or contact details, and your voice can help improve support for other men affected by domestic abuse and contribute to better services for the future.

A safe space to meet, talk and connect

Our peer support groups provide a safe, trauma-informed space for men to meet, talk and connect with others who have had similar experiences. We know that sharing in a supportive and confidential environment can play a powerful role in recovery – both for those who speak and for those who listen.
