Piki at Vibe
(18 to your 25th birthday)
Te Puāwai Hauora (Mental health and Addiction service aged 12-24yrs) – The growth and blossoming of your mental wellbeing whatever that may look like for you.
If you are aged 12-19 years and residing within Te Awa kairangi (Hutt Valley, including Upper Hutt and Wainuiomata) and need a bit of extra support around your mental health, we can help connect you to the right services and to learn strategies for managing daily life.
We have a team who are here to help support and talk to you about what is going on, teach new strategies for looking after oneself, and improve wellbeing by offering brief intervention sessions.
If further support is required, our team can work with individuals to make any referrals to secondary mental health services.

Supporting young people to talk about what’s going on, learn new strategies and improve wellbeing
Piki’s vision is to enhance young people’s quality of life by equipping them with tools to overcome adversity and strengthen their wellbeing.
Easy and personalised access to therapy at a convenient place and time (face to face, video call or phone). Our clinician has the ability to see you at our Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt site, so let us know what works best for you.
Piki is a Māori word meaning both to support or aid, and to climb or ascend.
Alcohol and other drug support
Our team can help young people who:
Might be worried about their alcohol and drug use
Wanting to reduce their alcohol and drug use
Want to learn more about the effects of alcohol and other drugs
Worried about someone else
Vibe staff can support young people to answer their questions and concerns, and provide access to good information.
We also offer specific alcohol and drug support via a specialised Alcohol and other drug co-existing clinician (AODCEP), which can help young people to make changes that support improving mental health and overall wellbeing.
We currently provide one on one sessions and educational workshops.
