It is OK to ask for help 

Family Violence thrives in secrecy - don't keep it a secret if you are experiencing violence, using violence or witnessing violence in a relationship or family you know.

It is OK to ask for help 

Most services require you to go and talk to someone, but you can often phone first and get more information before you meet.

The Family Services Directory is a searchable online database. It lists information about social service organisations who provide services and programmes for New Zealand families (we call these organisations "Providers").

An 0800 Family Violence Information Line (0800 456 450) provides self-help information and connects people to services where appropriate. It is available seven days a week, from 9am to 11pm, with an after-hours message redirecting callers in the case of an emergency.
