Last week, our NeuroHealth team attended the 7th Pacific Rim Conference in Brisbane.
This joint conference was hosted by three outstanding organisations: the International Neuropsychological Society (INS), the Australasian Society for the Study of Brain Impairment (ASSBI), and the Australian Psychological Society’s College of Clinical Neuropsychologists (CCN).

By staying up to date with research on brain injury recovery, cognitive rehabilitation, and neuropsychological innovations, we can bring the latest global insights back to our community here in Aotearoa. Continuous learning is part of our commitment to compassionate, evidence-based care.

Mental Health and Your Brain

🧠 Did You Know?

Mental health challenges like anxiety and depression are common after a traumatic brain injury and after acquired brain injuries such as stroke.
These types of injuries can affect how your brain processes emotions, memory, focus, and decision-making.

At NeuroHealth, we specialise in understanding these changes. We uncover how these changes influence your cognitive and emotional well-being through neuropsychological assessments. With this knowledge, we provide strategies to help you regain balance and thrive.

Let us help you take the first step toward better understanding and support. Visit www.neurohealth.co.nz to learn more.

NeuroHealth offers a range of neuropsychology assessments, including cognitive evaluation following traumatic brain injury and concussion, assessing for dementia and memory loss, and after illness (e.g., Long COVID, hypoxia, or heart attack) and stroke.

Sleep and the Brain

💤 Did You Know?

At NeuroHealth, we often see patients experiencing fatigue and sleep disturbances after head injuries or illnesses that affect the brain.
Sleep isn’t just about rest—it’s when your brain processes emotions, consolidates memories, and recharges for the day ahead. When sleep is disrupted, it can impact your mood, focus, and overall cognitive health.

Our neuropsychological assessments can help identify how sleep issues are affecting your brain and guide you toward recovery strategies.
Take the first step at www.neurohealth.co.nz.

Experiencing persistent brain fog and memory issues after COVID-19? 🧠

Some individuals face ongoing challenges like brain fog, attention and concentration difficulties, memory issues, and problems with decision-making and thinking after COVID-19 illness (or other viral illnesses). These can have a significant impact on daily life.

By undergoing a neuropsychological screening assessment, you can gain a clear understanding of your current cognitive functioning. This comprehensive assessment not only identifies attention, memory, and problem-solving difficulties but also addresses emotional aspects, such as frustration, low mood, and anxiety, which are common in Long COVID.
It's a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights into your post-COVID cognitive health and come away with strategies to improve your day-to-day functioning.

Contact us for more information about our Long COVID assessments and to determine whether they are appropriate for you.
