SVS's mission and purpose is: Challenging Violence - Changing Attitudes - Changing Lives. E wero ana I ngā tūkinotanga, E huri ana i ngā whakaaro, E huri ana i tōu huarahi.
We achieve this through psychoeducational non violence programmes which teach healthy coping strategies and tools to assist in developing respectful relationships, while still holding people accountable for their past behaviour.
