Referral Process
Any student enrolled in a secondary education provider, who is seeking support for themselves or wanting to refer others to Stand Up!, may enquire about the programme at their school’s health centre.
Health centre staff will be able to advise whether Stand Up! is available and which day of the week practitioners visit. Anyone can make a referral, including the principal, deans, nurses, teachers and peers.
Because we work closely with and as part of each school’s Student Health Centre, no parental consent is required.
To self-refer or refer someone else, please provide your full name and some background detail around the reason for referral. One of our practitioners will then contact the student and arrange an initial catch up to get a full story of their life and background.
Description
Stand Up! is a youth development programme for rangatahi whose lives are influenced by alcohol and other drugs.
We offer counselling support to rangatahi accessing our services, and we support them to determine how involved they want to be in our programme and what they want to get out of it.
Together we evaluate their progress, areas of strength, and future areas for development. Participating in the Stand Up! programme provides rangatahi with opportunities to explore and discuss a range of topics beyond alcohol and other drugs, such as their academic performance, future aspirations, or whānau relationships. They also get opportunities to develop other life or social skills.
Stand Up! is a lively and diverse team of trained AOD (alcohol and other drug) practitioners. We come from a range of cultural, life and educational backgrounds, and this allows us to offer different approaches and styles to our rangatahi and their schools.
