Information was gathered from community professionals working in the field of family violence in Christchurch, Porirua, Whanganui and Thames/Hauraki. Focus group workshops were utilised to discover what strategies were in place to address family violence, highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of these approaches. This report describes the limitations of the methodology of the workshops. The recommended outcomes from this process include the requirement for a holistic, intersectoral collaborative approach that involves community, family and men's groups, whilst also recognising the specific needs of Maori and Pacific peoples. Participants at these workshops stated that challenging social beliefs around family violence is an important factor in family violence prevention. Information from these workshops is incorporated in the 2001 report "Review of Family Violence Prevention in New Zealand: Plan of Action" ER -
