We run a tollfree Helpline to speak to an experienced, non-judgemental nurse counsellor
Call us 0508 11 12 13 from a landline or 09 433 6526 from a mobile.
We also respond to email queries via info@stief.org.nz.
We respect your privacy. Anything you share with us is treated confidentially.
Our Helpline is open from 9am-5pm Monday to Friday. If you do not reach us, you can either try again later, or leave us a message with your first name only, number and when you'd like us to try and call you back.
Email enquiries will be responded to within 5 working days. Occasionally, our team will need to consult with other experts regarding your enquiry which may delay our response - if this is the case, we will let you know.
If you need urgent wellbeing support and our team is not available, you can find a list of alternative helplines here.
What if I can't call during your opening times?
If its not possible to ring during our opening hours, it may be possible to arrange a phone call out of hours. To do so, you can call us and leave us a message, using your first name only, your number, and when you would like us to try and call you back. Alternatively, you can send us an email via info@stief.org.nz.
