Roopa Aur Aap: Supporting families, building safer communities for 15 years

Roopa Aur Aap Charitable Trust is a non-profit entity that has served as a strong support system to victims and families of family violence over the past fifteen years.

The organisation was founded in 2008 and has since then been able to positively offer culturally responsive and free services to achieve safety, dignity, and long-term wellbeing within different communities.

One of their core mission is empowerment. The trust provides a wide spectrum of support services, such as counselling and mediation, crisis intervention, and special social worker help.

Roopa Aur Aap also offers legal and immigration services as they understand the complicated issues many people deal with and they make sure that people in need can access the necessary guidance.  

Their main areas of concern are mental health and emotional recovery. The organisation provides personalised mental health services to assist individuals to regain confidence and stability following trauma. Moreover, there are also specialised programs like the elder abuse awareness programmes that raise awareness of the hidden problems in the community.

In addition, Roopa Aur Aap also takes steps to make a sustainable change by providing education and outreach. The trust hosts workshops and awareness programs to educate communities about family violence, prevention measures and resources. 
They provide outreach services beyond New Zealand to serve communities on a larger scope.

The organisation assists in making relationships stronger and healthier and more resilient households.

By providing children specific programmes and family-oriented services, the strength of the trust lies in its multilingual and culturally diverse workforce, which guarantees the accessibility and consideration of the needs of various communities in its services. 

Roopa Aur Aap provides free services to everyone and removes financial barriers to make sure that those who are in need of help the most receive it.

To combat family violence affecting communities, Roopa Aur Aap Charitable Trust's mission is to create safer and stronger communities through compassion, education, and lifetime support.
