NZFVC wishes you a safe and happy break, reopening 13 January 2020

The Clearinghouse will be closed for the holiday break after Wednesday 18 December 2019. We will reopen on Monday 13 January 2020.

Seeking help

Contact details for support services are provided on our website.

The It's Not OK Campaign has lots of information about how to help  including danger signs and suggestions for what to say or do if you are concerned about someone. The Campaign has previously put out these holiday messages:

Donations

Women's Refuge has partnered with The Warehouse Group this year and highlights the types of donations and gifts which are most useful for people over the holiday period.

Many other organisations also accept donations.

Providing services

The US-based National Resource Centre on Domestic Violence (NRCDV) publishes a holiday toolbox. The guidance documents provide support around providing services for victims over the holiday period, such as cultural sensitivity, food-related needs of survivors, and responding to the wellness needs of staff.

We wish all of our readers a very happy and safe holiday period.
