Welcome
We are so excited you are here

We invite you to get to know us, as we are - a wonderful community collection of people and organisations who are all trying to improve the hauora (wellbeing) of our rangatahi (youth) and we believe we can achieve more together than we could alone - and that includes you!

Mātātahi tū, hāpori ora

When young people are strong, communities thrive

Past Events

Thank you so much for coming along to our "Supporting Youth Mental Health" Panel event.

We LOVED having you there!

If you were able to come along, please can you fill in our super short survey here

The night was not possible without the HBC Youth Hauora Network's support.

At the heart of the HBC Youth Hauora Network is a commitment to working together to improve the holistic wellbeing of young people on the Coast. If there’s one thing, we hope you took away from the event, it’s that youth mental health is something we all have a role in—and no one has to navigate it alone.

When we connect, collaborate, and create community, we make this journey easier for everyone—young people, parents, caregivers, and those working to support them.

So please connect, and reach out—let’s keep this conversation going.

For more information on our wonderful panellist, you can find there details below;
