Living Without Violence is a 16-week group
program, run by skilled and experienced men,
designed to meet the needs of male youth
aged from 14 to 17 years. 

This is both an educational and cultural
experience that grows the participants towards
an appreciation of responsibility, self reliance,
emotional maturity and respectful relationships
with themselves, their families and their
community.

Week by week over four months we participate as a
group in modeling and developing, skills, knowledge,
respect, self-esteem and identity.

ChangeWorks’ Living Without Violence program is acknowledged and endorsed by the NZ Youth Court, the Department of Child, Youth and Family Services (CYF), NZ Police and the NZ Department of Education.
