Motivating Families to Reach Their Full Potential

After years of work in alcohol and drug counselling, facilitating restorative justice, and working as a private consultant for family violence, Nicky has brought his talents to Aviva.

Learning to Understand Himself

Recently, we received a call that was a little different. A woman called just to say thank you, not for herself, but for her partner who received support through Aviva’s ReachOut service.

Partnering to Make Homes Safer

Aviva and Cowdy real estate have recently formed a partnership which will help some Christchurch renters to better access social support.

We Couldn't Do This Without You

In recognition of their dedicated service, two of our fabulous volunteers, Renata Hopkins and Bev Shepherd, received Volunteer Recognition Awards from Volunteer Canterbury.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern Visits Aviva and The Loft

The goal of her visit was to learn more about Aviva’s approach to family and sexual violence, and The Loft’s integrated model for addressing social inequalities and their impact on wellbeing.

Roz is Finally Feeling Safe at Home

Roz knows what it is like to blame and question yourself. She was with a person she describes as a narcissist for nine and a half years. During that time, they had had a daughter together.

"Just knowing that there's someone who understands, someone who'll listen... knowing that you're not alone, that there's somebody who cares, it makes a huge difference; all the difference. Thanks to Aviva, I knew I wasn't alone, and I found hope again. In addition to this, being an ambassador as part of the youth evaluation, has taught me great personal skills, like confidence, as well as given me the opportunity to give back those who helped me in my time of need."
