We focus on strengths-based approaches, helping men externalise their behaviour and recognise that they are not defined by their actions. Using Māori and Pacific frameworks, we guide tane on their journey of positive change.
Through talanoa, group gatherings, and activities like sports, breakfast meets, barber and talanoa mornings, we build a community where men can share and grow.
We offer a safe space for men to reflect, share, and grow, guided by whanau-centric, trauma-informed, and culturally responsive practices.
