Tautoko Tāne is a Brotherhood that provides a safe space for us to have Real conversations.

We Tautoko(support) each other with Aroha and Manaaki throughout this journey of transformation.

A strong brotherhood grows from the common ground of lived experience. It’s the foundation for building Trust—and much more.

We all have the strength to move forward, the first step is usually the hardest. Together, through shared strength and support, we create the change none of us could achieve alone.

We are a member organisation of Tautoko Tāne Aotearoa and part of an active nationwide network of service centres that currently support more than 1,500 male survivors of sexual harm across Aotearoa

As a new service in Hawkes Bay we are committed to connecting with other organisations who work within the sexual violence sector and finding ways to work together for the benefit of the Hawkes Bay community.

Guiding Values and Principles

Whanaungatanga Relationships

We take time to get to know each other, expect to see some things differently, and welcome conversations that promote understanding and learning for all.

Pitomata Potential for change

We believe that positive, meaningful change is possible for everyone. We focus on people's strengths and encourage their dreams. We also expect setbacks, because we know from our own experience that tough times often bring positive growth.

Wheako Lived Experience

There's a growing body of research that suggests lived experience has benefits that can't be found through traditional services. We believe there's value in what we have learned through our life experences, and we aim to share that thoughtfully with others.

Mana Motuhake Self-determination

Self-determination is a human right, grounded in freedom and equality. Without this collective right, people in minority groups cannot be in control of their own lives. We encourage people to make their own choices and find their own path in life, because everyone benefits if we are all free to grow.

Ako Collaborative learning

We learn from each other, and grow our self-awareness through mutual, meaningful interaction. We walk beside you and support you on your healing and well being journey.

Tautoko Tāne Hawkes Bay is in partnership with DOVE Hawke’s Bay. We feel very fortunate to be supported by DOVE HB and the resources they have available to support the Tāne we work with and their whanau.
