Sexual harm support sessions
You don’t have to do this alone. We’ll listen, respect, and support you all the way.
Sexual harm support sessions are available in collaboration with HELP.
Organise to see a trained sexual harm specialist counsellor on campus in a safe, confidential and non-judgmental environment.
How to access support
The sexual harm support sessions are not a drop-in service. To see a HELP counsellor on campus, students need to arrange an appointment with HELP directly:

Alternatively, you can reach out to University Health and Counselling Services or Te Papa Manaaki, Campus Care for sexual harm support.
