New Zealand Resources
Unless someone has experienced what you are going through it is rather difficult to receive exactly what you need. This is Psychological Abuse and with New Zealand’s track record, we are often lagging behind when it comes to proof and implementation in such matters as getting this understood, acknowledged and recognised.
As with any call centre, site or group use discernment when engaging. Please reach out to us if you are aware of any other New Zealand support groups and resources, we would happily provide links on this page.
