Does your child (aged 5-12) need support after experiencing or witnessing family violence?

Aviva’s Tamariki RISE programme empowers children (ages 5-12) to build resilience, safety and confidence.

Through regular fun, interactive 2-hour sessions, tamariki learn about healthy relationships, personal boundaries, and develop coping strategies and plans.

The Tamariki Relationship and Individual Safety Education (RISE) programme: Empowers children through fun, child-centered activities. Teaches valuable skills in a positive and supportive environment.

During the 10-week programme run during the school term in North Canterbury, tamariki will be supported to:

  • Develop a personal safety plan
  • Understand healthy relationships
  • Build self-confidence, personal space, and boundaries
  • Foster positive experiences with others
  • Learn healthy ways to manage anger
  • Recognise and respond to harm or bullying

Individual or group sessions led by trained family violence specialists.

Tamariki sessions run over two-hours including breaks for kai and kōrero. Sessions are led by trained family violence specialists.
