We aim to help build an empowered community through education on illness, end of life, death, grief and bereavement. Through public education we hope to build capacity and reinforce the support systems for community members, decrease stigma, reduce death and grief phobia, and advocate for the recognition of dying, death, and bereavement as normal and fundamental aspects of the human experience.
Community Presentations - Staff can provide public education on the topics of end of life care, death, dying, grief and bereavement to the Sarnia-Lambton Community.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
Information Sessions - Educational presentations are held at the Resource Centre location. These presentations can be delivered by hospice staff or guest speakers. The information sessions are geared towards those looking for more information on the topic or practical support.
Information sessions can include, but are not limited to:
