Description
Youth INtact works with rangatahi (12-19 years) across the Waikato, offering alcohol or other drug (AOD) support and education in the community and at schools.
We are there for rangatahi wherever they may want to connect with us. We offer mobile outreach and walk-in services, and we work with community, sports, church and cultural groups to ensure rangatahi are supported in places that work best for them.
You can find everything you need to know about our service on the Youth INtact website.
Odyssey is the lead provider of Youth INTACT and works with three regional partners delivering the service across the Waikato.
In our service delivery area, we work with 13 Waikato high schools (including six in Hamilton) and serve a wide geographical area from our base in Hamilton City. We travel to Huntly, Ngāruawāhia, Morrinsville, Matamata, Te Aroha, Te Awamutu, Cambridge, and Raglan.
At each school, we work in partnership with the school guidance and pastoral care teams and offer individual and group support for young people. In each area, a practitioner can also meet with young people not attending school in community clinic settings.
The Youth INtact model of care was co-designed with rangatahi. With a focus on collaboration between everyone involved (rangatahi, whānau, health and education professionals), the service offers easily accessible community-based assessment and treatment services that are wraparound, holistic and culturally responsive.
