We’re building a community of support for our young people.

Path Wānaka connects parents, whānau and caregivers to the tools, knowledge and skills required to support our young people through their tumultuous teen years.

The Wānaka Youth Survey

Encourage more people to seek help.

Our kids are speaking. Read what they have to say.

Every young person will walk their own path. Our role is to help you walk beside them.

the stores and shut
down online vape stores.”

Vaping is here. 43% of respondents in our Youth Survey have consumed the product. Read articles on how it can affect your health and the resources to help you quite.

This is your path

They say a problem shared is a problem halved.

Caregivers from across our region share their experiences walking beside their youth to normalise some behaviour while also helping you know where to find help.

Their stories are taonga. We respect their right to anonymity.
