Children and young people are loved, safe and nurtured
Budget 2019 provided funding to reduce the severity and duration of trauma-related symptoms experienced by male victims/survivors of sexual violence. Current access to peer support and group-peer support services for male victims/survivors will be expanded.
Workshops were held with existing providers to define service guidelines. A funding allocation model was developed and the Ministry of Social Development worked with providers on accreditation.
Funding has been increased and new long-term contracts have been established.
