Overview

Ensuring better end-of-life care for alcohol-dependent people

All of us working to support people facing alcohol issues are focussed on reducing harm and promoting recovery. It is an uncomfortable truth, however, that, in some cases, recovery is unlikely and a person’s health will continue to worsen.

It’s something we all need to be more prepared for, so that we can recognise when someone is dying, and respond appropriately; and so that more people can have a dignified death, in a location of their choosing, with the people they want around them.

Join us on 12 March to learn more about how we can all deal with death better.

We’ll be looking at how to raise end-of-life issues with clients and their loved ones; how to make appropriate preparations for death; and how to manage alcohol use during the end-of-life period.
