To start the ball rolling, here are a few of the many free-to-call Help Lines available to us in NZ.
I've simply noted them from the front of my 'phone book. If you know of more, please add them because one day, someone might need them. Similarly, feel free to recommend websites of help or interest. Maybe, we could exchange links with them?
