About Streetsmart Handbooks New Zealand

Research has shown that one of the most difficult transitions young people make is that from Secondary School to the workforce.

Youth today face a range of issues including bullying, cyberbullying, peer pressure, anxiety, harassment, exposure to cigarettes, alcohol and drugs whilst at the same time struggling with the issues around personal safety, eating disorders and mental health and starting the road to adult life.

With your support we can provide these young people with the ultimate life skills resource book to not only provide information and guidance around these problems and hurdle but also the appropriate agencies to seek help from.

These handbooks are distributed every year, free of charge, to secondary schools around New Zealand to be given to school-leavers.
