With support from Limbs 4 Life Australia and Amputees Federation of New Zealand Inc, Peke Waihanga has established a nationwide volunteer Peer Support Service. This service provides support to our patients at all stages of their journey. Those adapting to limb loss are matched with trained volunteers who have adapted to their own limb loss.
If you would like support from a peer support volunteer – or you would like to join the growing volunteer network – please visit the Peer Support NZ website for registration forms and more information.
Please answer the group entry questions upon requesting to join. This Group is open to parents and carers of children with limb loss/difference. This Group is designed to provide support, and allow families to make connections, share information and learn about beneficial resources. We encourage the sharing of information, personal stories and positive conversations. This Group is ‘closed’ to protect the privacy of all members.
Field Officers are volunteers who make their time available to assist new patients and their whānau/family in their dealings with the Peke Waihanga. They are happy to support you throughout your dealings with Peke Waihanga.
If you require support, please contact your nearest Centre and they will put you in touch with a local Field Officer.
