Call Out Service
Our team are available to attend, support and advocate for you while providing a statement to the police and attending medical examinations.
You do not need to report your experience to the police to access our support. If you do choose to report your experience to the police, they will often offer to call HELP for you and ask us to attend interviews so that we can support you through this difficult process.
Social Work
Our social workers can provide you and your whānau with emotional and practical support. They will provide you with methods to help manage the impact of trauma and ensure your ongoing therapeutic needs are met. They can also help you access longer-term support that works for you.
Justice Support
If you choose to report your experience and go to court, we have Justice Support Advocates who can be with you every step of the way. Their priority is your wellbeing and ensuring you feel safe and supported as they help you navigate court processes and systems.
Counselling
We have a team of qualified and compassionate counsellors including ACC registered providers. Through therapeutic methods such as talking, art therapy or animal therapy our team helps you explore difficult thoughts and feelings you may be experiencing and help you move from surviving to thriving.
Education
We provide vital education about how to respond to disclosures of sexual violence to the police, doctors, clinicians and organisations across Wellington. If someone reaches out for help, we want to ensure they get the support they need.
