Who is Tairawhiti Men Against Violence (TMAV)?
TMAV is a group of guys who are committed to empowering themselves and other men to be great partners, parents, mates and members of the community.
We are not experts just people who care and want to do something to change the way things are.

What does TMAV do?
We meet monthly to update each other and plan things we can do to promote alternatives to violence done by local men and provide encouragement and ideas for guys to be positive parents and partners.

TMAV is not the answer to violence in our community - but is one group of guys interested in doing something practical about the tragedy of male violence in our society.

Who can join TMAV?
Any male living in the Tairawhiti region is welcome to participate in a TMAV meeting or join as a member.
We have some basic rules about respecting each others right to be heard and focusing on the kaupapa for our time together.

How can men get involved with TMAV?
If you would like to meet with other men to discuss and commit to what we can do to help reduce violence in our homes and communities then come along to a TMAV meeting on first Wednesday of every month 7pm at the Men Working for Change rooms (Old Army Hall, Fitzherbert Street, Gisborne).
