The organization was established to deal specifically with victims of sexual abuse and sexual assault. Over time our service has broadened to include services to those whose lives are affected by domestic and family violence, homicide, relationship difficulties, grief, addiction, depression or anxiety.
Our Crisis Intervention Team consists of a group of qualified and experienced women who are there for you and your whanau.
We work alongside the Police and medical professionals to support you, the survivor, and your whanau, during Police statement taking and medical examinations.
We are able to organize ongoing support for you, for example counselling at the Agency. Or we can link you to other Agencies in the community who may be able to assist and support you.
Our 24 hour Crisis Line is available for women and men who have suffered from sexual assault and are in distress. In addition we can provide advice about making a formal complaint to the Police, and talk through your options with you.
Unfortunately we are unable to provide an afterhours telephone counselling service should your concerns not relate to sexual assault or sexual violation. However, we are able to provide contact numbers for other Agencies who can provide telephone counselling.
