It's a tough time to be raising teens, , and just when you think you've got enough to worry about, our teens start getting into relationships and a whole new avenue of concern arises. 

You will be aware that we have horrific rates of violence in New Zealand - including that of intimate partner violence. What you might not be aware of is that

adolescents between 15 and 19 have the highest rate of intimate partner violence in New Zealand. 

Yes, sadly, you read that right.  And it's not just our girls (although it is 1 in 3); I in 8 men in our country experience physical, emotional or financial abuse by their partner, and the rate is more than twice as high for our LGBTQIA+ community.

The problem often seems so big, it's hard to know where to start - but there is something you CAN do to help your teens protect themselves, and their friends.

I'm pleased to be able to present this workshop in association with the One Love Foundation:

If you would like your teen to learn ways to identify warning signs, and potentially protect themselves or a friend from relationship abuse, this workshop is a must-attend.

You are welcome to purchase a ticket for yourself as well and attend with them.

I am offering a discount rate for my first workshop as I'm sure there will be some kinks to iron out and improvements I can make, and I'd love your input into that!

Feel free to share the event with any friends who might be interested, and of course if you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me via email by clicking on the email address below.
