The Problem:

New Zealand has one of the highest rates of youth mental illness in the OECD

Young people around New Zealand are struggling

They’re hurting, and losing the opportunity to live fulfilling lives, reach their potential to give back to the

world and build a better future for Aotearoa

The digital divide is growing between services and programmes developed to

support young people, and the techculture and use amongst

young Kiwis

Our Approach:

Design and develop strengths-based interventions which will improve youth wellbeing, with

young people at the centre of the process.

We create physical and conceptual spaces where young people and organisations can collaborate.

We’re developing the social & cultural processes which support

safe, rigorous and robust collaboration, development and

action research.

We take our programmes to where they’re needed the most.

In 2013 & 2014 we ran workshops & immersive programmes in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin, the West Coast, Southland and Northland

to support social innovation across the country.

Lifehack takes a design-centric approach that blends together innovation processes, startup principles, the latest wellbeing research,

socio-cultural tech trends and elements of Te Ao Maori.

We convene a broad range of skill sets, from PhD researchers to biomedical engineers, musicians to mobile developers, community

activators to user experience designers.

crew at Lifehack.

There is a real sense that this is what the future of bridging the technology

world with youth social services could look like – in doing so anything

is possible!

Thank you so very much for providing this experience, knowledge base and connections. The weekend was exceptional on so many levels!'
