Hi ! How can Jigsaw make a difference to preventing family violence?
The Jigsaw team supports the frontline work of our member organisations to eliminate all forms of child abuse and family violence in our communities.
As one of New Zealand’s three national violence protection agencies (with Women’s Refuge and the National Network of Stopping Violence Services) Jigsaw transforms the experiences and knowledge of its members into action at a national level.
Jigsaw provides professional, practical resources, services, training and development for our members to do the best job possible for our children and families.
We bring organisations together to learn from each other; we run national campaigns of common interest like the successful Kids are Unbeatable campaign with The Body Shop; and we create partnerships in the wider community to disperse our messages.
Our work can be as complex as leading advocacy on all issues relating to child witnesses of family violence and as simple as organising a skype conversation for a small child whose mother is hospitalised in a distant city.
