The Second Stage of the "It's Not OK" Campaign against Family Violence

Point Research is doing research on behalf of MSD to better understand the motivations and barriers to taking action against family violence by giving and/or receiving help.

This review will focus on people’s willingness, confidence and capacity to give and receive help by:

• Understanding behaviours around help giving and receiving
• Identifying factors that support or inhibit current help giving and receiving behaviours
• Identifying barriers and enablers of help giving and receiving behaviour change
• Understanding readiness and motivations to give or receive help
• Interpreting how these findings can be used to inform social change strategy.

We are currently interviewing a number of people from around New Zealand in order to identify positive stories of change i.e. where situations have changed and improved and people have successfully undertaken taken steps to make a difference. We want to understand how to help people identify the potential for violence earlier or equip them to take action before the violence occurs or worsens.
