One on one, face to face
counselling, Mens Support Group for healing old trauma and abuse
are held once a week, and Men’s “Living Without Violence
Program” groups – family court approved course
. Counselling is done on a sliding scale, and some sessions are
for koha, or donation, but not being able to afford the cost of
the group or one to one should not stop you from calling to see
if there is some way in which your needs can be met through
government funding etc and to see if “counselling” will actually
be useful for your issue.
