Come along to this conference to explore how we can work together to demystify death and build more compassionate communities in Scotland.

If you are interested in any of the topics below, this conference is for you:

Building compassionate communities where people can help each other with death, dying, loss and care.

Demystifying death - increasing knowledge, skills and information around caring, dying and grieving.

Public health palliative care - influencing social and structural factors that affect people’s experiences of death, dying, loss and care.

Creating more supportive environments and opportunities - for communities to share solace and provide practical support around death, dying, loss and care.

Death Literacy and Grief Literacy - the skills, knowledge, information, opportunities and environments people need to be able to navigate the ‘death system’ and provide informal support to each other.

Culture change - making Scotland a place where people can help each other through the difficult times that can come with death, dying, loss and care.

We welcome volunteers, community members, social care staff, nurses, doctors, funeral directors, death doulas, academics, policy makers, community development practitioners, teachers, service planners/managers and everyone else who is interested.

Speakers include Kathryn Mannix, Allan Kellehear, Dominic Campbell and more. Further conference details and programme to come.
