Free, nationwide support for people affected by crime, suicide and traumatic events.
We are here for you, 24/7.
Our free service provides emotional and practical support, information, referral to other support services, financial assistance after serious crime, and advocacy for your rights as a victim.
To be available 24/7 to help you as you deal with the aftermath of crime, suicide and traumatic events. To make sure you get the help that you need to be safe, to heal, and to participate in the justice system.
We’re here to help you make informed, supported, and empowered decisions, not to make decisions for you.
We’ll do all we can to make sure that you are safe, at the time of crisis and afterwards.
Everything you tell us is confidential, unless we think there’s a risk to your immediate physical safety, or the immediate safety of someone else.
If we give you information or advice about your situation, we’ll make sure it’s helpful, neutral, clear, up to date, and accurate. If there is information we don’t know, we will do our best to find out.
We’ll always respect you, your family, whānau, and friends, what’s important to you, your culture, beliefs, identity, and values. We will not judge you. We will support you.
You do not have to pay anything to use our services.
If we say we’ll do something with or for you, we'll do it.
