Evolve Wellington Youth Service

HEALTH CARE

Evolve has a team of friendly, non-judgemental doctors and nurses (clinicians) who provide primary healthcare services to meet pretty much all your health needs including sexual health, mental health, general health check-ups, treatment and referals. Clinics are available at Evolve every weekday and also at some schools around Wellington.

COUNSELLING

Our counsellors come from a range of backgrounds and have different skills and interests to suit different people. You can get a referral from our nurse for up to 6 free counselling sessions if there is something you'd like to talk through or work on with support from a professional. Counselling sessions are by appointment only.

SOCIAL SUPPORT

We have social workers and youth workers who can help with things like findign a job or somewhere to live. They provide social work, group work, advocacy, information and advice.

YOUTH TEAM

Evolve's youth team is a diverse group of young people who look after our drop-in and group spaces. They can help arrange appointments, provide peer support and supply information about services at Evolve and elsewhere. They also coordinate projects, events and activities that anyone can join in with. See our website for details of what's on at Evolve.
