Description

Vibe Support Services offer one-on-one support working with young people of the Hutt Valley aged 10 - 24 years to achieve their goals and strengthen their connections to the community, work or school environments, their peers or their family.

Social support - Vibe offers social work and youth work support and advocacy that is strength-based and client focussed. Our social workers and youth workers have a wide range of community networks and ensure that all young people are well supported.

Youth Development - Vibe offers a range of youth development programmes to suit the diverse needs of young people. Programmes and workshops are available for different ages and focus on a range of wellbeing topics.

NEET - Not in Education Employment or Training - Youth coaches work alongside 16-17 year olds to help them achieve success in education and employment. Working with a youth coach means regular catch ups to ensure young people realise their potential and stay on track to achieve their goals through support, advice, motivation and having fun.

YP/YPP - Youth Payment/ Young Parent Payment - Youth coaches work alongside young people to access government financial assistance via the Youth Payment (16-17yr olds who are unable to live at home) and Young Parent Payment (16-18 yr old parents) and to engage them with education and employment.

The Support team often works alongside the Health Service and Youth Service team, supporting you to reach your goals.

As a part of Vibe’ Clinical services - Vibe provides primary mental health brief intervention sessions for 12yrs and over within the mild-moderate criteria.  In this service we provide 6-8 sessions which are packages of care.  This service includes a primary mental health nurse undertaking mental health assessments, brief intervention, case allocation; complex case management and liaison with Vibe staff and external referrers/providers.  Vibe counsellors are also part of this service and provide a range of counselling therapies, including narrative, artistic, CBT and DBT.

Along with a youth development framework, the HEADSS assessment model is utilised across the Vibe service to identify health and development needs and to plan appropriate interventions in partnership with young people.
