At New Growth Group, we specialise in supporting individuals living with Korsakoff Syndrome. Korsakoff Syndrome is a chronic memory disorder most commonly caused by thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency, often associated with prolonged alcohol misuse or severe nutritional deficiency. The condition primarily affects short-term memory, learning capacity, and executive functioning. Individuals may struggle with retaining new information, planning tasks, sequencing activities, and maintaining routines. Without structured support, daily life can become disorganised and unsafe. Our team works closely with participants and families to design practical, routine-based supports tailored to each person’s strengths. We focus on consistency, skill reinforcement, environmental structure, and gradual independence-building.
