New wellbeing support app for rangatahi

The Starship Foundation have recently launched a new app called Village – a communication app to empower young people through tough times.

This is an amazing wellbeing support app designed specifically for rangatahi in Aotearoa. 

Best of all, it’s free!

This app has been co-designed by Starship clinicians, rangatahi and whānau to help young people kōrero with people that they trust.

This app allows young people to have a safe space to connect with designated people, but can also connect them with further support if required.
