What you should know about Hutt Valley Youth Health Service- VIBE
In the early 1990’s a group of people with an interest in youth health held discussions with the community to understand why young people in the Hutt Valley were not accessing health services. This group had a vision, and in 1996 they formed the Hutt Valley Youth Health Trust gaining funding from the Hutt Valley District Health Board to provide free, confidential health and support services for Hutt Valley young people aged 10 24. Services were delivered from Dudley Cottage which legend tells us looked like the Wizard of Oz house with grass growing through cracks in the floorboards. The concept was to deliver services using a one stop shop’ model where young people could come into the service and talk to other young people, Peer Support Workers, about what was going on for them, and gain access to doctors and nurses if they needed to. Doctors and nurses were able to see young people free of charge for a range of issues including general health, sexual health and mental health. The service also became well known for delivering youth development programmes including Peer Support training which VIBE still offers today.
In 2005, after consultation with young people, the Hutt Valley Youth Health Service rebranded as VIBE and with new funding from Ministry of Social Development MSD was able to provide additional services known as Youth Transition Service YTS . Young people engaging with Youth Service receive one on one support from either a social worker or a youth worker. The Youth Service team work closely with young people including young parents, either in school or out of school and in training environments, supporting them to achieve NCEA and set goals for where they want to be when they turn 18. Over the last eighteen years VIBE has continued to grow and deliver on our mission. The original vision lives on from humble beginnings and 12 staff in 1996 to 38 staff in 2014. I have also worked with youth as a English language teacher in Mexico, Uganda, England and New Zealand.
Hi, I’m Gaynz, I’ve been working at Vibe since the beginning of 2016 and I absolutely love my job. With a long history of working with youth in the Hutt Valley and a senior management background it is a privilege to lead the team at Vibe. When we think about the communities we are part of, most of us want to impact the people that make up those communities in a positive way. We are focussed on doing that at Vibe and making a difference in the lives of young people in the Hutt Valley. My focus is the Vibe team and offering the kind of leadership that is enabling and rewarding as we outwork the passion and vision that lies within the team. I am excited to join the dedicated team at Vibe who are making such a difference to the young people of the Hutt Valley.
I am a registered social worker, and have worked for many years in the youth development sector. I am passionate about supporting young people to fulfill their potential, and I’m looking forward to being part of the team as we provide health and support service to young people in our community!. The Hutt Valley Youth Health Trust, trading as Vibe, is a registered charitable Trust. This means our organisation is governed by a trust board made up of a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 7 members.
Board members possess skills and knowledge in youth health and development, finance and accounting, policy and planning, and legal studies. They meet monthly with the General Manager who provides reports to the Board regarding our financial position, contracts and contracted volumes and to keep them informed about current and future work
