Complex Chronic Illness Support
Description
Our vision is to “Empower People Towards Wellness” and our purpose is to improve the quality of life of people who suffer from a complex chronic illness, as well as that of their loved ones.
With our support people with complex chronic illnesses can, in time, develop an increased ability to participate in family, social and community life, and lead a life that is fulfilling and meaningful for them.
We provide many resources to our members including our innovative award-winning “Towards Wellness” Programme. We work with our members, their families and their community providing practical tools and developing strategic plans on how to find their next steps towards wellness.
Staff
Our Health and Wellness Facilitators work across the Bay of Plenty, Waikato, Wellington and in fact, nationwide.
Our Facilitators work with members, their Whanau and support network providing education and assistance in actively managing their illness and improving their wellbeing.
