Description

Tauawhi Men’s Centre is a drop-in centre for men, offering social work, non-violence programmes, counselling and advocacy support. The vision for the centre is to provide an obvious place for men to access the help and contribute to positive change for them and their whānau.

We also host services of Tauawhi Trust that include peer support for male survivors of sexual abuse and counselling for addiction issues.
