Registration of Interest for Te Huringa ō Te Ao - Supporting men’s behaviour change (Tranche Two)

The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) is committed to supporting communities, families, and whānau to thrive and live free from violence. A key element in supporting a violence free Aotearoa involves working with those who want to address their violent behaviour, as such MSD is investing $17.8 million per annum for longer-term behaviour change support for men (Te Huringa ō Te Ao) across Aotearoa.

Te Huringa ō Te Ao - Supporting men’s behaviour change (Tranche Two) is an initiative that supports sustainable behaviour change for men to restore whānau wellbeing. Te Huringa ō Te Ao aims to strengthen and expand responses for men who use violence by supporting locally led responses, reflective of the needs and aspirations of whānau.

Through this tender, we are seeking:
• experienced and specialist family violence providers who deliver a range of responses, including indigenous approaches to safe, effective and culturally responsive services that support behaviour change for men using violence,
