We provide 24/7 hour crisis support call 0800 16 33 44 or call the Police on 111 if you are in immediate danger.
Our role is to support and influence the prevention and elimination of domestic violence. Our purpose is to liberate women, children, families and whānau from family violence by providing quality services and support to navigate through to safety.
We work collaboratively with other agencies and family harm service providers to ensure a total wrap-around service for our whānau and tamariki. This helps whānau to get the right services like lawyers, protection orders and emergency housing when they need it where possible. We have crisis workers who deal with the initial responses and make sure that you are sorted for the immediate safety concerns and welfare.
