About this app

Overcome life’s lows with Village.

We all go through tough times.

Times when we’re feeling low.

Times when you feel like life sucks.

You don't have to go it alone.

Village connects you with people you trust, helping you get through the tough times.

It’s a free app co-designed with New Zealand rangatahi and whānau…for young people and whānau.

Village helps you talk through your feelings with up to five trusted "buddies" of your choice. Your buddies learn how to respond to your messages, and offer you support when and how often you need it.

Village has information about dealing with stress and common mental health issues. It helps you understand and communicate some of the feelings you’re experiencing.

Clinically developed by Starship hospital experts, Village is a safe and helpful way for you to process your emotions. It can be used alongside counselling or therapy to get extra support from the people in your life.

The development of Village was funded by the Starship Foundation and ASB.

Get connected, and build your Village today!
