EMERGENCY CONTACT RESOURCES. NZ AND U.S.
Anna is not available for emergency contact. This is to keep you safe if Anna were to be unavailable or unable to help when you or someone you care about is in a time of crisis.
Your life and safety, and that of the people around you, are the most important factors when considering contacting emergency services. So please contact them without hesitation. These services have trained providers, and if they can’t help you, they will be able to connect you with someone who can.
