Growing Compassion in Life & Death at Old Midland Courthouse

Compassionate Communities approach to care is about understanding that everyone has a role to play when it comes to illness, caring, death and grief.

It provides a practical framework, based on research evidence, on how to achieve this partnering involvement and increase people's sense of connectedness so they're not isolated at their greatest time of need.

Learn how and why each of us can play a stronger role in supporting people who are caring, dying or grieving to increase their sense of connectedness in a time of need. As communities we need to re-learn the old ways of caring for one another, Professor Aoun says: “We only die once, so let’s make it a good one”.

Professor Aoun is a global leader in the areas of public health, palliative care, and Compassionate Communities research and has influenced rapid system change and informed practice and policy at the national and international levels.
