Resources
The generous support of the IHC Foundation has enabled us to create a collection of resources and videos for carers, support workers and people with learning disabilities.
Our helpful video collection features our expert Continence Nurse Janet Thackray answering key continence questions, like how often it’s normal to be going to the toilet and how to get things moving when constipated.
In this resource section you’ll find everything from simple toileting tips to a good food guide.
Please use and share these free resources widely.
If you have any questions about these videos and resources please get in touch at info@continence.org.nz or 0800 650 659
Toilet Card
Finding a toilet when out and about can be a challenge for people with bladder or bowel problems. It could even discourage some people from going out altogether.
Our toilet card clearly states that the holder has a medical condition and needs to use a toilet quickly. Most places you visit will be willing to help you.
Toilet Map
