Our Impact

Tauranga Living Without Violence provides help to domestic abuse victims by supporting them to be safer and assisting in their recovery from the effects of the trauma they have experienced.

We also work with perpetrators of violence, encouraging them to examine and challenge their beliefs about dominant behaviour and its effects, whilst teaching them non-controlling and non-violent alternatives.

Our free programmes together with our collaboration (and advocation) with other agencies, we can effectively intervene and stop the cycle of abuse in families.
