A real illness affecting real people.

Can you remember a time when someone didn’t believe you? How did that make you feel?

Many of the people with complex chronic illness we support experience this. For over 40 years, CCI Support have believed & understood.

It's estimated that complex chronic illnesses such as ME/CFS affects up to 20,000 people in NZ. ME/CFS is an abnormal immune system response to any number of infectious/ environmental triggers, causing long-term illness resulting in significant disability.

Our members learn ways to reach a healing state so that their bodies are in the best space to heal & cope with the impact of illness. Members experiencing pain & isolation, find relief, comfort from others on the same journey.

“From personal experience, it is devastating as a parent to watch your child suffer. I have spent over 10 years researching ME / CFS  & I can assure you that it is very real.” Emeritus Professor Warren Tate- Otago University- Father, Academic & Biomedical Researcher.

“ME/CFS has halted my life. I went from running Ultra Marathons & my job as a Nurse looking after others to spending days laying down. CCI Support has given me hope that I am not alone.”

“CCIS has provided strategies to lighten the load. Where I once felt overwhelmed & isolated, I now feel more in control and supported.”

Please will you donate today and help empower people with complex chronic illness towards wellness.
