Upcoming Event!!!
The 'Compassionate Workplace Forum' is an event focused on raising awareness and education around palliative care, death literacy, and grief support in conjunction with the national Dying to Know Day campaign. As we endeavour to develop compassionate communities across the country, we must explore conversations around these sometimes-taboo topics in communities such as workplaces, schools and greater society.
We are inviting a diverse panel of experts including perspectives in psychology, social work, community leadership, palliative care, and the funeral service industry to speak in the opening session. The following sessions will provide evidence-based education sessions rich with discussions and practical strategies on how to be a compassionate community.
Come join us to be a part of the discussion, enjoy a delicious lunch and take away some practical support strategies to use in your personal and professional relationships.
