Fale Pasifika o Aoraki

We run the local anti-violence campaign and some one-on-one and family services.

We run workshops that educate and raise awareness of family violence for Pacific people and families.

Family violence and mental health, especially in the context of Pasifika families, is a priority concern to Fale Pasifika. It is not okay, and it was never okay!

All our programmes have positive mental health and wellbeing messages. We are continually working with communities, families and individuals on the "It's not okay" message, providing tools and space for personal change.
