Description

Te Whare Tiaki Rongomātāne (Men’s Centre) offers an immediate response and frontline service for men.

The Men’s Centre is a drop-in centre from 9 – 3 pm every week-day. It provides a safe space for a chat and whānau support.  Tāne can present with any issue for support including employment, behaviours, legal, violence issues, health, disability or mental health.

We are a non-judgemental service and offer a cuppa tea right through to a chat and individual appointments.  We haveTiaki tāne group sessions from 6-8 pm on Monday and Wednesday evenings  open to all men.  We provide a snack, and opportunities to contribute and learn new behaviours.

The staff who work for Rongomātāne are part of the umbrella of the Safe Man Safe Family coalition.  Safe Man Safe Family provides services to men who want to make changes in their lives.  They may be mandated to attend living without violence courses, or they may be recognising behaviours that are impacting on partners and children and want to change.  Rongomātāne is here to walk alongside men who want to make those changes.

Te Whare Tiaki Rongomātāne is operated under the whānau services of Te Whare Tiaki Wāhine Refuge Charitable Trust.
