Abuse Prevention Services assists families in the wider Rodney/Hibiscus Coast areas who are affected by family violence to heal from trauma and make positive changes to their lives through education and support.
Our services and programmes support:
- Women who have experienced any form of abuse in their relationship, such as emotional, psychological, financial, sexual, physical and may include controlling behaviours and isolation.
- Men who recognise that their behaviour is causing harm in their relationships and are looking for way to improve their relationships and be more respectful in their ways of relating. This may include looking at ways to address their anger.
- We use play therapy and counselling with children and young people from 4 to 18 years of age who have been exposed to and experienced family violence/abuse.
We also offer safe, confidential and professional counselling services to women and men who have experienced any form of abuse in a relationship.
