Relatively Speaking seminars

Our monthly speaker series provides knowledge, support and connection for our residents, their families, and anyone who supports an older loved one.

Join us and learn how to support your loved ones

HBH residents, families and caregivers are warmly invited to attend our informative Relatively Speaking seminars.
 
This monthly series offers a wide range of practical advice, fresh insights and real conversations about caring for seniors. It brings together experts, whānau, caregivers and community members to learn from each other and strengthen wellbeing. HBH staff are also encouraged to attend when relevant, helping build an inclusive, caring environment for all.
 
Each session ends with light refreshments – a chance to meet other residents and families, share experiences and connect with others walking a similar path.

Upcoming seminars

6 October - Layers of Grief: Understanding Loss and Life Changes

2:30 PM – 3:30 PM | HBH Howick Views

Loss and life changes can affect us in many different ways. Grief may follow the death of someone we love, changes in health or independence, or other significant life transitions.

Join grief coach Judi Johnson for a warm and supportive session exploring the different forms grief can take, why everyone experiences loss differently, practical ways to navigate change, and how families can support someone who is grieving.

The session will include time for questions and relaxed discussion.

 

Families, friends and members of the wider community are welcome.

10 November - The Ageing Brain: Understanding Change, Research and Living Well.

7:00 PM – 8:00 PM | HBH Howick Views

Changes in memory, movement, speech or behaviour can raise questions for older people and their families.

 

Join Rich Easton, CEO of the Neurological Foundation, for an informative session about the ageing brain and neurological conditions that can affect people later in life.

 

Rich will explore common neurological conditions, changes families may notice, current New Zealand research, and practical ways to support someone experiencing neurological change. The session will also look at ways to maintain connection, participation and quality of life.

 

The talk will include time for questions and discussion.

Families, friends and members of the wider community are welcome.
