Tu Tāne Tu is a family violence prevention and behaviour change programme for tāne who want to better understand the impacts of their behaviour and develop safer, healthier ways of relating to themselves and others.

The programme provides a confidential, respectful, and supportive environment where participants can explore the beliefs, attitudes, behaviours, and patterns that contribute to the use of violence, abuse, or controlling behaviours. Through guided reflection, education, and practical skill development, participants are encouraged to take responsibility for their actions and build the knowledge, insight, and strategies needed to create positive and lasting change.

Support may be provided through individual sessions, group programmes, and tailored interventions, depending on the needs of participants and the programme pathway. Facilitated by trained practitioners with expertise in family violence prevention and behaviour change, the programme focuses on accountability, respectful relationships, emotional regulation, communication skills, and understanding the impacts of violence on partners, tamariki, whānau, and wider communities.

At its core, Tu Tāne Tu supports tāne to strengthen self-awareness, build healthier relationships, and develop safe, respectful, and non-violent ways of being.
