The Taranaki Safe Families Trust are pleased to announce that the Real Stories exhibition will be at Puke Ariki Library during October 2009.

 

It’s Time We Started Telling These Stories is a book telling the life stories of eight New Zealanders who grew up with family violence.  Their stories illustrate the devastating effects of family violence but also give hope that lives can be healed and that the cycle of violence can be broken.  These stories are intended to help those who have suffered from family violence and to help New Zealanders understand the impact of family violence on friends, families and their communities.

 

The book has been published by the It’s not OK Family Violence Campaign and illustrated by Wellington tertiary design students.

 

An exhibition of their artwork is touring New Zealand libraries — Visit the exhibition at Puke Ariki Library, throughout October 09. 

 

Books are freely available at the exhibition site, to the right inside the library entrance, or can be issued on loan.
