What is Family violence?
Family violence can be a range of behaviours that affect everyone in the family and wider whānau. It can take the form of physical, sexual, emotional or psychological abuse. It can be a one-off situation or a pattern of abusive actions towards a family/whānau member that causes them fear and harm.
