Hello to our top of the South members!

I hope you are all enjoying the fabulous Spring weather.

Our online Monthly Members Meeting was held in September and covered Long COVID. Dr Sarah Dalziel presented to our members some interesting facts and figures about the impact Long COVID is having on people in New Zealand, along with some positive findings that are being discovered by researchers around the world. As Dr Dalziel pointed out these studies do take time, and it is reassuring to know that progress is being made in this area. While we await these findings there are lifestyle strategies that can be implemented such as pacing, resting, dietary changes, building support networks, calming techniques and much more, all of which we can share during our appointments with you, or online at www.ccisupport.org.nz

I always enjoy connecting with our Nelson/Marlborough members in our online group which is held on the first Thursday of each month at 1pm. Please let me know if you would like to be added to the email list for this group.

For those living in Nelson remember we have our in-person group which is held on the 2nd Monday of each month at the Elma Turner Public Library from 1.30-2.30pm. This group is facilitated by Florence, our local support co-ordinator and there is always some delicious baking on hand! Florence can be contacted by emailing [email protected]

I look forward to connecting with you soon, enjoy the Spring sunshine!
