The VIP, Violence Intervention Programme supports health sector family violence programmes throughout New Zealand.

We fund family violence intervention coordinator positions in all District Health Boards (DHBs), audit DHB performance, support related research and evaluation, and offer technical advice and training support to health services committed to the programme.

This section contains family violence related guidelines and reports, a wide range of resources for health professionals to support the implementation of the VIP programme, questions and answers and related links. There is also an extensive guide to the development of a VIP programme including information on training and evaluation reports.
