Te Ara Poutama o te Matua Marama

A journey of a man with a vision

14-Week transformational Journey

At Fathers For Families, we believe in the power of fathers to transform their families and communities by breaking cycles of violence and fostering healthy, loving relationships.

Our 14-week Family Violence Intervention Programme is a carefully designed journey that empowers men to embrace their roles as individuals, partners, and parents.

Week 1-5 For The Man

This foundational phase focuses on self-awareness and personal accountability. Participants explore their identity, values, and the impact of their behaviour on others.

Week 6-8 For The husband

This phase helps men strengthen their partnerships by fostering mutual respect, empathy, and healthy communication.

Week 9-13 For The father

The final phase empowers men to embrace their role as kaitiaki (guardians) within their whānau, focusing on their responsibilities as fathers and role models.

Week 14 MY JOURNEY

This week’s focus is reflecting on personal growth, achievements and celebrating participant’s progress to graduate one’s journey of self-discovery.

Graduate Programmes

Graduate programs are for men who have completed ‘Te ARA POUTAMA o Te MATUA MARAMA’ and are looking for continued ongoing support.

Every Wednesday morning,

We come together not just to work out, but to build strength, resilience and unity. Our gym sessions are more than just a routine, they are a testament to our commitment to health, well-being and each other.

Why We Do This:

• For Our Health: Each session is a step towards a healthier, stronger version of ourselves. We push our limits, knowing that every drop of sweat brings us closer to our fitness goals.

• For Our Team: Working out together fosters camaraderie and support. We cheer each other on, celebrate our progress and lift each other up when the going gets tough.

• For Our Mindset: Physical activity boosts our mood, sharpens our focus and prepares us to tackle the challenges of the day with renewed energy and positivity.

Every Tuesday & Thursday morning,

This is your chance to enjoy the outdoors, get some exercise, and connect with others in a relaxed and friendly environment. Whether you're looking to clear your mind, have meaningful conversations, or simply enjoy a stroll, this group is here for you.

Join us for a refreshing walk where you can share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences. It's a great way to meet new people, build connections, and support each other while staying active. Our walks are designed to promote well-being, both physically and mentally.

Remember, every step counts. Walking together not only boosts our health but also strengthens our community. Let's encourage each other, celebrate our progress, and make each walk a memorable experience.

So, lace up your walking shoes, bring your enthusiasm, and let's make our Walk & Talk sessions a time for connection, support, and rejuvenation. We look forward to walking with you!

Hey Graduates!

Welcome to our Monday evening peer support group! This is your space to connect, share, and grow together as we navigate the exciting and sometimes challenging journey post-graduation. Whether you're starting a new job, exploring further studies, or figuring out your next steps, this group is here to support you.

Feel free to share your thoughts, concerns, and triumphs in this judgment-free zone. Meet fellow graduates, exchange ideas, and build connections that can help you in your personal and professional life. Gain insights from others' experiences, learn new strategies, and find inspiration to tackle your goals.

Remember, you're not alone. Every graduate faces challenges, and together, we can overcome them. Celebrate every achievement, no matter how small, and let's cheer each other on!

So, grab a cup of coffee, bring your thoughts, and let's make Monday evenings a time for growth, support, and connection. We can't wait to see you there!

Hello Graduates!

Continue your journey and reconnect twice a year during breakfast with fellow graduates. These special gatherings are more than just a meal; they are a celebration of our shared experiences, growth, and the bonds we've formed. It's a time to reflect on our achievements, share our stories, and inspire each other as we move forward in our personal and professional lives.

Among us are a selected few who have chosen to give back by co-facilitating weekly groups and services. These dedicated individuals embody the spirit of community and support, helping to guide and uplift their peers. Their commitment to assisting the team is a testament to the power of connection and the impact we can have when we work together.

Whether through mentoring, sharing knowledge, or simply being there for one another, we all have a role to play in fostering a supportive and thriving community.

So, let's come together, enjoy a hearty breakfast, and celebrate the journey we've embarked on. Let's reconnect, recharge, and recommit to making a positive impact. We look forward to seeing you there and continuing this incredible journey together!
