Youth Health Center Development for Porirua Community

�This is a new opportunity through Capital & Coast District Health board, to develop a Youth One Stop Shop (YOSS) for Porirua. This is the outcome of a co-design approach between CCDHB and rangatahi from Porirua. The co-design approach showed that the solution will: � Encourage and enhance collaboration and partnership between the many health and social services in Porirua.

� Have youth-friendly teams who look and feel like rangatahi in Porirua and who understand, or have lived experience of, the challenges they face. � Have a governance structure that has at least 50% representation by rangatahi and covers a range of perspectives in the community.

� Have a mix of GPs, nurses, social workers, mental health professionals and/or connection to others that will improve the health and wellbeing of rangatahi. � Be culturally relevant, reflects the rangatahi from the Porirua community, and can respond appropriately to their health and wellbeing needs. � Be highly confidential and keeps our rangatahi and their information safe.

� Have the ability to provide a whole-of-whanau approach, where requested and appropriate. � Be accessible, flexible, and reaches those most in need of support including: - Maori and Pacific rangatahi - those living in the highest deprivation - those living with disability - those from refugees and migrants families - the LGBTQI+ community.

� Be centrally located in Porirua City, but is able to �reach� into Porirua East.
