Family Care TV

View recent news items, learning clips, documentaries, movies, and more!  Family Care TV is a new initiative that will be more fully developed during 2011.  We're looking forward to launching our first learning resources for New Zealand carers, in partnership with friends such as the NZ Continence Association.  We are also experimenting with a new 'virtual respite' series that will allow you to feel part of different environments and experiences ... without leaving home!  Sit in a peaceful country church for half an hour, enjoy the clatter of an urban cafe, visit a dog park with your virtual pooch and feel part of the chat of fellow dog walkers.  If you could easily get out of the house, what would you do?  Share your virtual respite ideas with us via our Email Hotline.
