Community Workshops

Community Workshops bring people together to talk openly about respect, resilience and wellbeing — building the everyday skills that help prevent abuse before it happens, in clubs, workplaces and community groups across Aotearoa.

Who it is for
Community groups, clubs and organisations
Ages
All ages — workshops are shaped to the group
Duration
A single workshop or a short series, by arrangement
Cost
Free or low-cost, depending on group size and funding available

Costs are kept as low as we can make them, and we will always tell you honestly if that is a barrier we can work around.

What changes

Stated as capabilities people hold afterwards, not as activities we delivered. Activities are easy to count and prove nothing.

  • Participants can name what respect and resilience look like in practice

  • Groups leave with a shared understanding of what they want to hold each other to

  • Participants know how to support a friend, colleague or teammate

How it runs

Published in full, so you always know exactly what to expect before you get in touch.

  1. 1 — Awareness

    Naming the patterns that precede harm, without fear-based messaging.

  2. 2 — Resilience and wellbeing

    Practical tools for coping, communicating and supporting one another.

  3. 3 — Holding the standard

    What the group commits to changing or continuing after the workshop ends.

How this programme is measured

You receive your own cohort data. We publish the aggregate, including the results that are not flattering.

  • Participant feedback collected after every workshop

  • Number of workshops delivered and communities reached

Keeping people safe

Non-negotiable and identical across every programme. Our safeguarding and child protection policies are available on request.

  • Trauma-informed facilitation; participants may step back from any activity at any time

  • Support information provided at every workshop

  • Facilitators are trained and, where they work with young people, vetted

Where this sits in our model

  • Pillar 02 — Education

    Workshops and educational programmes that give people the language and confidence to recognise abuse before it escalates.

  • Pillar 05 — Community

    Community engagement, volunteering and events, so support outlasts any single workshop or funding round.

  • Pillar 06 — Respect

    Promoting healthy, respectful relationships and empowering positive role models in every community we work with.
