Kia ora my name is Phil Paikea, I am happily married to my wife of 44 years and have 6 daughters and 1 son.

Currently i have a job with SafeMan SafeFamily which allows me to do my work as a mentor, Navigator, and Family Violence Advocate. I am based in my community of Ruakaka where i manage our men’s Centre Te Whare Kowhai and facilitate men’s groups.

I also work as an advocate for Matariki Court based in the midnorth. I also traverse the country at the request of Marae, Prisons, Communities, Work place, Corrections Centres, Schools, Gang Pads and universities to speak on the mahi that’s done with Safeman Safefamily.
