Waikato School-based Health Service marks Youth Week
Youth Week (20-26 May), coordinated by Ara Taiohi, is designed to encourage rangatahi (young people) to take on challenges, share ideas and focus on the positive aspects of being young. It's also to recognise the youth workers, youth service providers and others working with and for rangatahi.
In the Waikato, Pinnacle provides School-based Health Services, funded by Te Whatu Ora, in more than 40 lower decile high schools, wharekura, teen parent units, and alternative education sites. That's 14 per cent of the entire School-based Health Services across Aotearoa.
We'd like to say ngā mihi nui to our team doing the mahi, supporting rangatahi to enhance their wellbeing, resilience, readiness to learn, and academic success.
