About Us

The Stand Strong, Walk Tall (SSWT) service that is now being piloted was developed as part of an Aotearoa New Zealand research collaboration, called Stand Strong, Walk Tall: Prehabilitation for a Better Future.
 
The broad targets of our mahi (work) are alluded to in our name:
  • Stand Strong denotes self-efficacy and self-regulation building aspects;
  • Walk Tall denotes self-acceptance, dealing with the stigma often faced by those with sexual attraction to children/young people and tackling self-stigmatisation; also a sense of forward momentum;
  • Better Future carries a double reference:
  1. ​the better future participants can expect because of engaging with prehabilitation.
  2. ​the better future we are all collectively striving towards, of a society free from child sexual abuse.
