About MCNS

New Zealand’s first Men’s Centre was formed on the North Shore, Auckland in 1994. It became quickly apparent that the biggest demand for support services was from fathers alienated from their children following divorce or separation.

In mid-1997 MCNS began running regular public support meetings on a monthly basis, and by July 1999 the numbers of participants made it necessary to increase these to every week.

By the end of 2001, occasional attendances of over 40 per night saw the committee begin actively encouraging people to set up Men’s Centres in other areas.

In 2008, the Inc. Soc is just about defunct, but support groups continue.
