Evolve Staff
Ngā kaimahi o Evolve
The Evolve Team are an awesome bunch of professionals who are super passionate about the wellbeing and health of Young People. We have doctors, nurse practitioners, nurses, counsellors, social workers, and youth workers who are supported in their work by our team of Administration Stars.
Our staff are “Youth Friendly”, which means there are a bunch of things we understand already like:
Being a Young Person can be really hard sometimes
Talking about sexuality, mental health, drugs and alcohol or sex can be scary or embarrassing
Keeping the things young people tell us confidential and private, is really important to you
Communicating using appropriate language young people understand
We will always try to ask you for your consent before we do anything
We respect your right to make choices
We need to earn your trust and respect
Supporting young people needs to be a partnership
That everyone who comes through our door feels included for their culture, ethnicity, gender, beliefs, values etc
