These events created a renewed sense of urgency around tackling family violence within the community. A group of concerned men came together to form Tairāwhiti Men Against Violence (TMAV). Their vision was to create a community of caring men, who could live non- violent lives and support others to do the same. In August 2007, the idea of a Men’s Centre was first proposed at a TMAV hui. The aim of a Men’s Centre would be to reduce family violence by addressing the issues that lead men to use violence again women and children. The Men’s Centre concept found supportive partners in Te Whare Tu Wāhine (Gisborne Women’s Refuge) and Family Works (a social service provided in this region by Presbyterian Support East Coast). It was acknowledged that although the Men’s Centre and Women’s Refuge would be complementary services, it was important that they operate out of different premises. In 2010 a suitable space became available above the Family Works Store in Gisborne. Family Works and Te Whare Tu Wāhine formed a collaborative partnership, pooling their resources to get the Men’s Centre off the ground. The Tauawhi Men’s Centre was officially opened on 2 July 2010. The name Tauawhi, “to embrace”, was provided by renowned Ngāti Porou linguist and kuia Turuhira Tatare. The centre was dedicated to the memory of Dr Pat Ngata, an outspoken advocate against violence and a leader in intervention with men. (From the booklet). Record #8748
