The health and wellbeing of takatāpui and rainbow young people who have been involved with Oranga Tamariki

Abstract

In this series of reports to be published in 2022 we use survey data from Youth19 to explore life for young people who report being involved with Oranga Tamariki or Child Youth and Family Services.

This report focuses on the lives of takatāpui and rainbow young people from mainstream schools, alternative education, and those not in education, employment or training. The report explores topics for trans-gender and same-sex or multiple-sex attracted young people, including their cultural identity, home and housing, health and wellbeing, and community involvement for takatāpui and rainbow young people who have never been involved with Oranga Tamariki, and who have ever been involved.
