Dying Matters Week was created by Go With Grace, a free, independent New Zealand resource created to support people in navigating death, dying, grief, and end-of-life planning. Dying Matters Week connects people across Aotearoa to start conversations in a safe space, learn from local experts and seek support to plan for later life and end-of-life and to navigate grief and loss.

This Dying Matters Week is focused on empowering people to make informed and meaningful decisions about the future, both for themselves and for those they care about. We recognise that everyone’s perspectives, beliefs, and experiences are different, so we’ve created a range of ways for people to connect with and explore this important topic.

If you click on the link below you will see the depth and breadth of events we have with over 25 different events available for people to engage with.

As World Alzheimer's Month continues, we're encouraging people to trust their instincts when something doesn't feel quite right. 🔎

Dementia | mate wareware isn't one condition. It covers more than 100 different types, including Alzheimer's disease. That's part of why the signs can look different from person to person.

Changes in memory and thinking aren't always easy to notice at first. Early signs can include forgetting recent events, struggling to find the right words, or changes in mood, judgement, or behaviour, or finding it harder to manage familiar, everyday tasks.

💬 If you've noticed changes in yourself or someone you care about, don't feel you need to work out what's causing them on your own. Talking to your GP can be a good place to start.

September is World Alzheimer’s Month – a time to raise awareness, reduce stigma and encourage earlier support for people living with dementia | mate wareware across Aotearoa.

Alzheimer’s disease was first identified in 1907, by German doctor Alois Alzheimer. It’s still the most common cause of dementia, but it’s only one of many types. Dementia is an umbrella term for approximately 100 different conditions that affect the brain.

💜 A dementia diagnosis is not the end of the story. It can be the first step towards information, support and planning for what comes next.

🌱 Early support can make a real difference to living well with dementia.

🌟 A special visitor at Dementia Wellington this week! 🌟

We were delighted to welcome Michael Galvin (aka Dr Chris Warner) for a cuppa and a chat. His friendly nature made for some great conversations about dementia and the importance of supporting people living with dementia and their whānau.

A huge thank you to Michael for helping raise awareness and much-needed funds through his appearance on Celebrity Tipping Point NZ.

👏 And the competition continues! Michael managed to find two more words in our Words Within Words puzzle and was amazed by how many words had already been discovered.

Thanks again, Michael, for your support! 💙🧩
