Covid-19 Information Hub

Standing Together Against COVID-19
Compassion. Connection. Care. Community.

The Cerebral Palsy Society acknowledges that COVID 19 (Coronavirus) is unsettling and that the nationwide lockdowns revealed many issues our community is facing. This is especially the case when it comes to some of our members who are at greater risk of respiratory conditions and problems with their immune system. We have kept up-to-date with the latest information and guidelines and have fed any relevant information on the website, email and social media. As a society, we take our responsibility to serve members and families seriously. We monitor the situation closely and respond as quickly as possible. We put preventive measures in place to minimise the risk of any spread.

Some of the changes include:

  • Reducing/eliminating time spent in our Auckland office
  • Conducting our advocacy over the phone or using Zoom
  • Postponing events that require group gatherings
  • Having a regular roster system for the staff to check in with our members.

Essentials Hub

Keeping informed through COVID-19 is important, we have put together an Essentials Hub where you’ll find links to important information and contact points.

This will include health related information, emergency contact information, a quick downloadable guideline to keeping active and informed, as well as a function to request a call from our team.

Wellbeing Hub

During the COVID-19 pandemic and nationwide lockdowns, emphasis has been placed on mental, physical and emotional wellbeing.

The Cerebral Palsy Society has compiled a hub, focusing on key areas such as compassion, connection, care and community. Being physically isolated from family, friends, and colleagues during this time is difficult for everyone.

Information in this hub includes encouragement around reaching out to friends and family via text, email and Zoom, smiling to your neighbours and those living around you, encouragement to learn a new skill or a new exercise, getting outside for fresh air and committing to exercise for 10 minutes per day.
