Share Our Webpage
One of the simplest ways to support our mahi is by sharing our webpage with friends, whānau, colleagues, and community groups. Many people experiencing whānau–family violence are unsure where to turn or what support is available. By sharing our page, you help connect people to information, support, and services when they need it most.

Share Our Socials
Spreading awareness online helps our messages reach further and faster. By liking, sharing and commenting on our social media posts, you help amplify important information. Every share increases our ability to reach someone who may need help but hasn’t yet found us.
03.
Support Our Events
Attending or promoting our events helps us raise both awareness and essential funds. Sharing event details, invitingyour networks and encouraging others to get involved strengthen our ability to reach more whānau and maintain our services year-round.
