CEDAR HUB CHARITABLE TRUST
Providing a specialist Family Violence service in Tauranga Moana for self-referring men and their families.
A gap in service provision for non violence programmes for men has been clearly identified and adds a great layer of risk to vulnerable wahine, tamariki and communities in general.
A team of skilled Family Violence professionals have implemented a new service to work with Tauranga Moana and the wider Western Bay of Plenty who identify the need for education, support and advocacy regarding their use of violence within their families.
