Northland Down Syndrome Support Group

Kathryn Sadgrove – Service Co-ordinator

My role as volunteer coordinator is to provide support and information to parents and their family who have a new baby born with Down Syndrome. I visit with the family in hospital or locally in their own home. The NZDSA has produced a New Parent information pack and DVD which is given out at the time of visit.  We also provide support, health and educational resources to our existing families and their extended family members.

With the family’s permission I can link them to another family in their own area to provide them with extra support.  We hold family get-togethers throughout the year.  I run a support meeting in Whangarei, please contact me for details.

We have a representative Angie Hawke on the New Zealand Down Syndrome Assn committee. Any local issues or concerns affecting our Northland families Angie can take to the National committee meetings.

The area we cover is from Wellsford to Kaitaia.
