Family Violence

We have several research studies examining the issue of family  violence. Across these studies are several guiding principles for our work:

• To promote women and children living free from violence; 
• Develop research collaboratively with researchers, clinicians, service providers and the community; 
• Studies must leave women, children and the community better off; and 
• Processes must support Treaty of Waitangi principles: protection, partnership and participation.

Some of our current research studies include the following:

• isafe: an on-line study to improve safety decisions and well being of women experiencing abuse
• Family Violence Project Evaluation
• Safety Plan
• Women In Safe Environment(s) (WISE) Study
• Computer Based Health Professional Training
• Prevalence of Intimate Partner Violence Among Women Seeking Healthcare (2004)
