Congenital Heart Youth Resources

Living with a congenital heart condition can be pretty daunting as a teenager or young person. It’s hard enough having to deal with all the usual changes in your life at this stage, and then you have to deal with a heart condition too.

One thing we can say is that there are lots of other young people who’ve been through this too, and there’s loads of information out there, both in NZ and on overseas sites, which will help you to learn what you need to know about your heart diagnosis and what this means for your life in general.

We’ve put together some info on common topics that crop up when we are talking to young people with congenital heart conditions. Click on the links below to find out more.
