Youth Wellbeing Study

UPDATE: The YWS has moved!

The Youth Wellbeing Study has now been integrated into the wider Social Justice and Wellbeing (JAWS) lab, which you can find here.

This website will no longer be updated or active. If you wish to get in contact or see updated information, please access the JAWS lab website above.

Kia ora and welcome! We are a team of researchers and clinicians working towards better understanding the wellbeing of youth and rangatahi in Aotearoa New Zealand. Our research with young people is primarily in secondary schools, where we gather information about how young people are doing, what their needs are, and what resources would be most helpful to them and their communities.

Our website gives information regarding our research projects, our research findings and publications, and has copies of our various presentations to the community, academic conferences, and copies of our resources.

If you’d like to talk to someone who can help, you can access support here.

Our research project was funded by the Health Research Council of New Zealand (ref:11/645)
