Resources available in Te Reo Māori for family violence prevention

Tēnā koutou

To celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, we have identified some resources written in te Reo Māori which may be useful to those working with whānau to prevent family violence.  It is only a short list.  If you know of other resources, please tell us so we can add them to the list.
