"Are you sure you know what you're doing?" 🤨

When it comes to immunisations, our nurses definitely do. 😅💉

Staying up to date with your immunisations is one of the best ways to protect your health and help keep our communities healthy too.

If you need an immunisation, young people can come to Vibe, visit their GP, or talk to another healthcare provider.

**🧡 Ngā mihi nui to Kindness Collective !** 🧡

Today VIBE received a generous delivery of PJs, gifted by Kindness Collective for our young people and whānau.

Warm pyjamas might seem like a small thing, but for the young people and whānau we work with, they make a real difference. This kind of generosity helps us keep showing up for our rangatahi, especially as the colder months set in.

E mihi ana 🙏🏽

Today we say thank you to Mandy, who leaves an incredible legacy after almost 13 years of supporting rangatahi and whānau.

Joining Vibe in 2014, Mandy helped shape and grow what is now Te Puāwai Hauora, becoming one of the foundations of our therapy service. Her compassion, wisdom and unwavering commitment have touched the lives of countless young people, whānau and colleagues.

We also want to acknowledge two very special members of the Vibe whānau. Milly, Vibe's first therapy dog, helped create a space of comfort, connection and healing for so many. Rest in love, Milly. ❤️ And of course Puka, whose calming presence has brought smiles, comfort and joy to both rangatahi and kaimahi over the years.

Mandy's impact reaches far beyond the counselling room. She has helped shape our culture, our approach to care, and the lives of many who have walked through our doors. While we'll miss her immensely, we know the difference she has made will continue to be felt for years to come.

"He hono tangata e kore e motu; ka pā he taura waka e motu."
Human bonds cannot be broken, whereas a canoe rope can.

Thank you, Mandy, for everything you have given to Vibe and our community. We wish you, Puka and your whānau every happiness in this next chapter. 💙

Ngā mihi nui.
