Supporting Families & Whānau
Patient and Family Support
Comprehensive & compassionate.
Living with a life-limiting illness can be a challenging and emotional journey, not only for the patient but also for their loved ones.
Our dedicated team understands the difficulties that come with an end-stage diagnosis and strives to provide professional and compassionate support. We are here to help you and your family/whanau navigate the changes that accompany this stage of life, addressing the social, emotional, physical, and spiritual demands that illness brings. Our goal is to work alongside individuals and their support network, enhancing coping strategies and building resilience.
Our family support team consists of individuals who bring a wealth of experience and qualifications in various fields such as social work, spiritual support, bereavement support, cultural support, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and counseling. They are here to offer practical and emotional assistance, helping you find ways to strengthen your spirit, body, emotional well-being, and coping capacity.
