Who Are We

Society of Youth Health Professionals Aotearoa New Zealand (SYHPANZ) supports Doctors, Nurses, and Allied Health Professionals working within the Youth Health & Development scope of practice in Aotearoa New Zealand.

Our Mahi

We’re unique in that we connect with many within the youth workforce and health sector, including partnering with the Ministry of Health and with different community and international organisations. Most importantly, however, is that we connect with those that we hope will benefit the most – our youth Aotearoa’s rangatahi.

SYHPANZ is fortunate to be in a vital position to be able to hear the voices of these rangatahi directly and to then be able to feed that through the work and projects we are a part of.

Networking to benefit of our membership & our rangatahi

SYHPANZ connects to multiple networks such as the Ministry for Health, Ministry of Education, Social Development, & Youth Development, Family Planning, The Collaborative Trust, Ara Taiohi, Youth One Stop Shops (YOSS), School Nurses, School Based Health Care, School Services, Primary Health Care, Youth Specialty Services, Secondary Health Care, Mental Health Services, Alcohol & Other Drug Services, Auckland Health Research Group (AHRG), Mentoring… as our membership grows so do our network links.

Forums

SYHPANZ hopes to use this website as a conduit for Youth Health and Development Professionals to network, discuss, and share information to support positive development such as school based health services (SBHS) and research. Check out our Forums tab above for more information.

Knowledge Brokering

We aim to share research and resources:

Links to youth research and training
International literature
Youth health presentations and webinars
Best practice standards such as national youth health nursing knowledge and skills framework

We welcome feedback so please let us know what else you would find useful.
