THE MAD, BAD AND SAD SYNDROME

“Why must we clothe ourselves in

layers of deprivation to justify

our right to exist?”

- Donna Matahaere

Industrialisation

“What we have seen over the past 2 decades has been the industrialisation of Māori misery.”

- Mereana Pitman

“15 Toyotas parked up

my driveway,

all there to fix

me and my

whānau up”

There are are over 80 providers in the Hutt Valley

area that are providing services

around Family Violence

We have 15 contracts, with 4 different agencies, with 12 different reporting templates.

Our compliance and transaction costs are ridiculous

We are products of a competitive funding regime that has encouraged siloism and

discouraged collaboration… and all we think about is

protecting our patch

Before services,

whānau
