My Story
Brett Harvey
At 12 years old, I was first exposed to pornography, a moment that shaped the next decade of my life. The addiction that followed was real, isolating and damaging. Through honesty, vulnerability, with support and accountability to others, I was able to break free from it.
Raising my own children made me realise no young person should have to walk that path, especially not alone.
Back in 2015, as I began researching the impact pornography has on young people, I also saw how many parents felt isolated and under-equipped to talk about it. Out of that realisation grew a conviction to help, and Tāima Kōrero was born.
Since its founding, Tāima Kōrero has become a trusted organisation, delivering workshops and resources nationally and internationally.
Tāima Kōrero equips young people, parents, educators, in fact, every part of the community, to have open, meaningful conversations about pornography.
Tāima Kōrero provides support, tools, and resources for whānau seeking to mitigate the harmful effects of pornography
