We're here to support families experiencing violence in the Hutt Valley. This violence can take many forms; from mind games and stalking, to sexual and physical abuse. Family violence is never ok.
We start by making sure our women and children are safe. Then our specialists guide families through a tailored and constructive journey of healing and empowerment to help them make change and get stronger.
