Family Harm
We partner with you to create practical pathways towards safety and a life free from violence.
About this service
We are experts in the family harm field, with dedicated advocates who work with all genders to help you on your journey away from violence. We receive referrals from the police and other agencies and are available on a Crisis Line 24/7.
Your safety is paramount, so we will arrange to meet you wherever you feel comfortable. As well as counselling to help you overcome and heal from your trauma, we can also help with the practicalities, such as safety planning, housing, legal and WINZ advocacy.
Our tāne advocate reaches out to men who are users of violence and walks alongside them to change damaging behaviours and break the cycle of abuse. We encourage men to recognise they need to heal their own trauma in order to be the man they want to be.

“You have helped me to talk about my situation and ask for help which I could not do before. You have listened without judgement and let me do things in my own time.”
