11 Jan Talking Mats Foundation Training

We are delighted to support the Talking Mats Foundation Training, hosted by Talking Trouble NZ. Talking Mats is a visual, person-centred framework which enables people of all ages (especially those who experience learning and/or communication challenges, autism, dementia, or stroke) to express their views and be more involved/have more influence in planning and decision-making by supporting them to process info, reduce anxiety, and share complex feelings about their lives, care, and goals. 

Palliative care / hospice nurses who have previously attend the training have been very excited about how they could use Talking Mats to enable the people they work alongside to express preferences and choices around their care.

Please see the PCNNZ front page for upcoming training dates in 2026, both in person in Auckland (March) and in Wellington (date TBC) and on-line.
