Talk with the medical team
Talking to a health expert can be difficult but often once you have that initial conversation things can feel less overwhelming. Take the time to have that chat.
Book appointments
With a wide range of medical experts and service providers on site, this is a one-stop shop to book those appointments you have been letting slide.
Collect information
Tap your Fieldays Smart Band with Exhibitors to gather important information and connect with health and wellbeing exhibitors.
Discover support networks
Having support networks around you and your Whānau during a period of ill-health is often as vital as the medication you are prescribed. Don’t miss the opportunity to make those connections and extend those networks.
Confidential Mental Health Support
With one in five people affected by mental illness and addiction each year, there are many of us doing it tough right now. It’s important to ask for help if we’re concerned about ourselves or someone else. Visit the hub for information and support from professional mental health workers.
Don’t get stuck in the mud. Find support for health and wellbeing at the Fieldays Hauora Taiwhenua Health & Wellbeing Hub.
