Support for those living with violence

"Te Manawa listened to our needs. They offer an impartial, structured and empowering programme. Every participant is given the opportunity to speak and listen."

"I myself found the course extremely beneficial. I felt nothing but supported throughout the whole course, and I know my husband and children really started to rethink the way they approached each other."
