Youth Health Councils

Stand Up!

Youth Health Councils address a wide range of issues: mental wellbeing, bullying, fitness and exercise, healthy eating and nutrition, peer pressure, stress, relationships, service gaps, youth rights and much more.

Together they increase the health status of young people by:
​

• Identifying and discussing key youth health needs
• Creating resources
• Ensuring that health information, services and programs are relevant, responsive and are accessible to young people
• Promoting healthy lifestyles

Youthline Auckland supports almost 30 Youth Health Councils across the Auckland region, encompassing a range of schools and young people. We also have developed a bunch of resources that you can use in your school to set up your own Youth Health Council.
​

The Stand Up! Programme is a Youth Development Programme that Youthline runs in 3 secondary schools and 6 Alternative Education courses in Counties Manukau for young people whose lives are influenced by alcohol and other drugs.

It aims to:
​

• Build each young person’s resiliency and connection to their whanau, school and communities
• Empower young people to be proud of who they are and progressively evaluate their progress, areas of strength and next areas of development
• Empower young people to reduce the impact of substance use in their life.
• Being in the Stand Up! Programme means that the young person will have access to tailored support to a combination of one-to-one counseling, group activities and peer support.
