Youth Health in Schools

Need help with student wellbeing? We can help with that!

Our specialist school-based youth health team can help your learners stay engaged and reduce medical absenteeism by providing easy access to healthcare and support through our Youth Health in Schools programme.

We have a range of health service packages on offer, from professional support for your current health team to weekly or daily youth health registered nurse clinics. Our collaborative approach with your school, staff and whānau aims to strengthen your school hauora team and assist whānau to navigate healthcare options.

We can provide:

- Sexual health clinics

- Alcohol and drug assessment and referral

- Mental health assessment and referral

- Prescriptions for common conditions

- Smoking and vaping cessation and support

- Support for rangatahi with complex health or social needs

- Comprehensive youth health assessments and screening for mental and physical health as well as social and family stressors
