Living Violence Free
“I believe this programme has built our kids self-esteem and helped them stand strong in their mana”
“Hearing that others are in a similar situation to me, so I am not alone, the positivity and understanding from the facilitators is amazing”
“This programme has opened my eyes to a lot, it has helped me recognise my value within myself, it has helped me to acknowledge my own trauma and to be ok within my feelings”
“I really enjoyed the sharing part at the beginning as men do not get a chance to share like that, especially going through similar issues”
“The group has been a lifeline and massively helpful”
