Family Information Service

The Family Information Service is a free service that provides families/whanau/caregivers with up-to-date, easy-to-read consumer health information on children's medical conditions and disabilities, including support group contact details.

Ask your healthcare team if you would like information on:

• medical conditions and treatments
• disabilities, genetic conditions
• hospitalisation
• support groups
• coping with death and illness
• parenting issues relating to children with health problems or disabilities
• mental health issues

There is a small library of books and videos/dvds that can be borrowed by families while their child is in hospital.
