Christchurch GP and youth advocate Dr Sue Bagshaw discusses the campaign for an ambitious multi-million dollar youth hub in Christchurch to tackle mental health and homelessness.
Dr Bagshaw runs the existing 298 Youth Health Service in Christchurch, but it has struggled to keep pace with unprecedented demand.She's proposing a new one-stop youth health hub, which will deliver mental health, medical and social services, recreation and employment support as well as transitional housing for 25 homeless young people.
Earlier this year the Anglican church purchased the land for the 10 million dollar project - tonight the fundraising effort to get it built begins with a line-up of local and New Zealand talent performing in a variety concert.
