Sponsor of the week
New Zealand Aotearoa Adolescent Health and Development (NZAAHD) is a national network organisation for people who work with young people (those aged 12 to 25).

Members of NZAAHD have a voice to government about issues impacting on them and young people. We keep you informed on policy debates and initiatives being developed by government and other decision-makers. We also; make submissions, get involved in policy-making, positively advocate on key issues our membership have identified (e.g. access to health care for young people) and act as a voice to media.

We bring together people from all disciplines and professions, helping you to better enable your work with youth. By connecting up with other people who are working with young people, in and out of your specific field, you build your contacts. Through regional branches and caucuses, we provide support for members to come together for training, networking and information sharing. NZAAHD provides you with many opportunities to connect and work with other people who work with youth.


NZAAHD helps to keep you informed and up to date. We disseminate new research, current affairs and professional development opportunities that relate to young people and your work. We do this through our website, through weekly email updates, and through a quarterly newsletter.
