You and your child or children do not need to put up with
abuse of any kind. There are
support groups available who can offer practical help without judgement, and without explanation.
These groups are here for you no matter what your circumstance, and no matter what your story - there is no excuse for abuse.
Whether you are a victim, or a family member or friend trying to get help, we hope these articles will point you in the right direction. Please, no matter how scary it may seem - make the call.
Kiwi Families is here to be of assistance to you as a NZ parent. If there is anything you would like to see on this website relating to abuse issues, perhaps another support group, then please
contact us. We will do our best to source the information and place it on the website for future reference for others.
