Louise Roebuck, Taranaki Youth Trust's WAVES programme

With a Masters degree in Nursing and an additional five post graduate papers in youth health and sexual health, Louise Roebuck has a passion for engaging in youth issues through the Taranaki Youth Health Trust's WAVES programme.

Since its inception three short months ago, WAVES has registered close to 600 young people and attracted almost 2000 visits.  Her vision is to see WAVES become the hub of youth health and development in Taranaki and the greater region.

"Health at WAVES is not just about the physical. We look at all areas of the young persons life, and we reconnect them back to family or to pro-social adults and peers."
