'Mate Wareware' is an app co-created through collaboration with kaumātua and whānau to help Māori affected by dementia | mate wareware and to raise awareness of the condition.

Tikanga Māori is central to the app, with an introduction and karakia by kaumātua, and everyone featured in it is Māori.

Topics covered include what mate wareware is and what Māori understandings of it is, the types and causes of it, how to look after whānau who are affected by it and how to identify the signs of dementia.

📣 Today is Primary Progressive Aphasia (PPA) Awareness Day.

PPA is a form of dementia that affects language first – making it harder to speak, understand, read, or write.

In this recorded discussion, Winifred Henderson (Dementia New Zealand) and Christa Grbin (AphasiaNZ) talk through what PPA is and the kind of changes people might notice.

💬 “PPA is a language-led dementia, where language symptoms are often the first signs to appear.” Christa Gerbin

Those changes can be easy to miss at first. Words don’t come as easily. Conversations take more effort. It can be mistaken for everyday lapses.

If you or someone you know is noticing changes in communication, this is a helpful place to start.

If you’re supporting someone with dementia | mate wareware, our Dementia Advisors can provide practical guidance and support.
