Dementia Wellington partners with local iwi and marae-based services to offer information about mate wareware and opportunities for kaumatua to kōrero with our Dementia Advisors.

Mate Wareware App

The Mate Wareware app is Māori-friendly and has been co-created through collaboration with Kaumātua and whānau. Tikanga Māori is central to the app, with an introduction and karakia by kaumātua, and everyone featured in it is Māori.

Topics covered in the app include what mate wareware is and what Māori understandings of it is, the types and causes of it, how to look after whānau who are affected by it and how to identify if someone might be suffering from it.
