About The Association
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder and affects approximately 2% of the population (or 80,000 New Zealanders).
The Epilepsy Association of New Zealand (ENZ) has been in operation since 1956 and is the only non-profit service provider dedicated to supporting people with epilepsy. Its primary role is the wellbeing and interests of people with epilepsy in an effort to improve their quality of life and interaction with their families/whanau and the wider community. ENZ provides the following free services through our devoted team of community workers and volunteers:
- children and people with epilepsy - liaising with paediatricians and neurologists
- adolescents - facilitating with social interaction and acceptance of their epilepsy
- women - support in coping with epilepsy and pregnancy
- families - interaction between home and school
- education and training - schools, workplaces and in the general community
- support groups - for all people who are affected by epilepsy in some way
- information resources available to members (membership is $5 per annum) - literature, videos, etc regarding epilepsy.
The role of the North Shore and Rodney Branch focuses on providing the above services free to all those in the North Shore and Rodney communities, under the umbrella of our National Support Centre which is based in Hamilton.
Referrals require only client consent (verbal or written) and contact details.
