If you have engaged in harmful sexual behaviour or experiencing sexualised thoughts and fantasies, that if acted upon would cause harm, you are in the right place. Free, confidential, and non-judgmental support is available.

If you are a parent, whānau (family) member, guardian, or partner worried about someone’s sexual behaviour, this can bring up a wide range of emotions - shock, disbelief, anger, guilt, fear, or sadness. You are not alone in this. Our team is here to help.

At Stop, we work alongside professionals who support tamariki (children), rangatahi (adolescents), and pakeke (adult); helping you recognise, respond to, and refer individuals who have engaged in concerning, or harmful sexual behaviour. Whether you’re seeking guidance for tamariki, rangatahi, pakeke or wanting to strengthen prevention in your community, we’re here to help.

At Stop, our work is guided by our vision of a community free from sexual harm. We are a values-led organisation, committed to integrating our values in our daily mahi (work) with our clients, their whānau, professionals, our sector partners, and wider communities.
We believe that by working collaboratively and upholding our shared values, we can create meaningful and lasting change.

Together we can work towards a ‘community free from sexual harm’ – he hapori wātea taitōkai.
