The Road Forward

What we do

The Road Forward is a charitable trust, formed on 10th August 2015 providing free peer support services to adult survivors who have experienced sexual harm.

What is peer support?
Peer support focuses on creating meaningful relationships that will sustain recovery, e.g. reconnection with others, personal achievement, inclusion in the community. Peer Support instils hope by being with someone who has been there and ‘through it’. Peer support is not about ‘fixing things’ but building on your existing strengths.

Our Free services include:

One to One peer support
Socialisation groups
Educational groups
Weekly wellness groups
Advocacy
Whanau Support
