Stand Strong, Walk Tall (SSWT) is a joint treatment and research initiative. Through the pilot, we aim to learn more about our service’s target population and their treatment needs, so that we can continue to improve the services that we offer.
Naya Williams (Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairoa) is leading the Kaupapa Māori rangahau stream alongside a Māori advisory rōpū of experts in the field of sexual violence prevention, to understand how we can better meet the needs of Māori who access support for enduring sexual interests in children/young people.
The research team has been granted funding by Ministry of Social Development (MSD) for the development, pilot delivery and evaluation of Stand Strong, Walk Tall.
The specialist service is provided free of charge to eligible pilot participants.
Issues of client confidentiality and information privacy are treated with the utmost care. The provisions of the Privacy Act 2020 and Health Information Privacy Code 2020 apply.
