Rangatahi are our focus.
Otago Youth Wellness Trust works to ensure rangatahi have access to the range of quality services they need to meet their unique needs, which will enhance their wellbeing, break barriers to opportunities and ensure a secure future.
At Otago Youth Wellness Trust, we provide support for rangatahi who have multiple needs impacting on their wellbeing, so they are able to live and participate fully in their community
Integral to our work is the support of the wider community, to help ensure a positive future for our rangatahi.
The trust was founded by Dame Patricia Harrison in 1996, with the support of many others, who saw the need for a local service that would ensure rangatahi with complex needs could access the support they needed.
OUR VALUES
We believe in the intrinsic tapu of rangatahi, the right to equal opportunity, wellbeing and participation, within their community and society.
OUR SERVICE
We provide support for young people with multiple needs - so they are able to live and participate in their community.
