Find support for dementia and Alzheimer's from a helpline in New Zealand

Gradually losing your edge and having to adapt to your new reality could make you feel a range of different emotions. However, many people out there are going through the same thing. You can find free support in New Zealand from 2 hotlines if you’re struggling with:

  • Diminishing interest in things you used to enjoy
  • Wandering or getting lost in neighborhoods you know well
  • Being confused and uncertain about what is happening
  • Finding it difficult to speak and focus on what you’re saying
  • Confusion about place, like getting confused about where you are at the moment
  • Difficulties concentrating on reading or writing
  • You become paranoid and feel like everyone is working against you
  • Feeling depressed and pessimistic for no obvious reason

Dementia and Alzheimer’s could leave you confused and scared. You might have many questions about what your future might look like. This is perfectly understandable. The symptoms you have been experiencing seem to be changing your life and yourself.

You might feel the need to maintain your self-sufficiency as long as possible. Reaching out to volunteers from a helpline that supports with dementia and Alzheimer’s can help you cope with the diagnosis in a healthy and productive way.
