Guide for young people

If you’re going through a hard time, feeling stuck, or just need someone to talk to — you’re in the right place. Skylight offers support that’s real, respectful, and designed to help you feel stronger and more connected.

Life can be hard sometimes. You might be dealing with stuff like grief, anxiety, family changes, school pressure, or just feeling overwhelmed — and maybe you don’t know who to talk to, or how to even begin.

You are not alone, and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself.


Skylight is here to support you through whatever you’re going through. We work with young people all across Aotearoa, offering free and low-cost counselling, group programmes, and tools to help you understand your feelings and build your own resilience. One of our most popular programmes is called Travellers — a small group that runs in some high schools to help students talk about challenges, learn new skills, and realise they’re not the only ones feeling this way.


We also have loads of helpful resources — from worksheets and journals to videos and apps — that can support you to feel more in control, connected, and hopeful.


Whether you are struggling right now or just curious about what support might look like, we are here for you. You can talk to someone, read more about our programmes, or just explore in your own time.


This is your space. And however you are feeling, it’s okay to start here.
