If you’ve experienced sexual abuse or assault, it’s likely you can receive therapy through trained professionals across Aotearoa New Zealand. This therapy is free and funded by ACC through the Sensitive Claims Service. If you choose, Safe to talk can help you find available ACC-funded therapy providers. We can find an available therapy provider for you and support you while you wait for this therapy to begin.
Most importantly: you are in control every step of the way. You can seek help when the time is right for you. You don’t have to talk to anyone you don’t want to talk to. You don’t have to tell anyone your story. You can change your mind about getting support at any time. Every decision is yours to make.
