At any given moment you have the power to say, “ this is not how the story is going to end”.
- Christine Mason Miller
More than half of all New Zealand women have experienced some form of domestic or intimate partner violence…
Our individual programs are for everyone, and are personalised to work with you on your journey. We understand that not every relationship, whanau or individual will need the same tools to build supportive, safe violence-free lives. We work by supporting individuals to change their attitudes, underlying beliefs and behaviours as a way of redirecting their lives and relationships to a place of mutual respect, care and understanding.
Changing the way you treat the people you care for is possible.
Do you need help to manage your anger, or other emotional reactions, to the everyday triggers in your life?
Are the people that you love or care for afraid of you? Being feared is not the same as being respected. You can learn how to manage your actions in a way that is respectful to yourself and to others.
Have you been affected by violence?
Domestic violence, both as intimate partner violence or as family violence, can come in many forms. Violence can be physical, sexual, emotional, financial, psychological or verbal abuse.
Our programs for victims of violence provide support, education and wellbeing management.
“In violence, we forget who we are ”
— Mary McCarthy
