New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse
From the beginning of 2005 until August 2008, Te Awatea Violence Research Centre had the pleasure of being closely involved with the New Zealand Family Violence Clearinghouse (NZFVC).
We would particularly like to thank our team of dedicated staff: Project Manager, Nick Fahey, Jude Hamer, Verina Hassett, Kylie Douglass and Rachel Halvaksz.
We would also like to thank our collaborators, the University of Canterbury’s Information and Communication Technology Services, the Ministry of Social Development, the National Collective of Independent Women’s Refuges, the National Network of Stopping Violence Services, and Jigsaw.
The NZFVC now continues its evolving and responsive approach to delivering violence research literature and other literature to the community and will be operating out of the Ministry of Social Development National Office, in continued partnership with the three NGOs.
Te Awatea Press
Te Awatea Press has published the first two books of an intended series: Violence and the Human Services. The series explores violence topics of current concern to professionals working in the human services.
