Vibe - Hutt Valley Youth Health Trust

Free, confidential health and support services for Hutt Valley young people aged 10 – 24 Vibe is a Youth One Stop Shop (YOSS), providing a range of primary health and social support services for young people aged 10-24 years in Te Awakairangi (the Hutt Valley). We aim for our services to be accessible to young people. This means that our services are youth friendly, in accessible locations, free and confidential. These are delivered ‘under one roof’ or ‘through one door’ to reduce barriers for young people. Our services are delivered from our two Vibe sites in Lower Hutt and Upper Hutt, as well as a number of schools and community settings across the Hutt Valley. We currently have over 5,000 young people registered with our service. We have a diverse team including nurses, doctors, youth workers, social workers, youth coaches, administrators, receptionists, and also youth interns. Vibe exists to support the needs and also the aspirations of young people, and we provide or have links to a wide range of educational and developmental opportunities. We have found that young people often engage with different Vibe services over time as their needs and goals in life change.
