Family violence training and workshops

As part of our goal of making the Wairarapa a safer place for everyone, we offer training and workshops events to help locals understand the impact of family and sexual violence. We support communities to respond safely and respectfully to people who are experiencing, affected by, or perpetrating family violence and sexual violence.
