Welcome to START
Introduction
START Trust
START is an independent Ōtautahi/Christchurch based social service agency that was established in 1987 by three women to attend to a particular gap in services in Canterbury. At that time there was no counselling specially tailored to the needs of children and youth who disclosed sexual abuse.
START provides counselling for children, youth and adults who have been subject to sexual violence, alongside specific support for their family and whānau.
How Can We Help You?

Consultations with our specialist sexual abuse staff are available to anyone upon request by contacting START.
Counselling
When parents/caregivers have concerns about the impact of sexual abuse they benefit from having someone to discuss these with.
