Death & Grief Education

Advance Care Planning Workshops

One of the biggest barriers to advance care planning is lack of information or resources, so I deliver ACP workshops to help educate the general public. I am passionate about helping to raise awareness of advance care planning, and I would be happy to deliver a workshop to your community, organization, or group.

Speaking Presentations

I seek out opportunities to share my knowledge and experience. I am available for conference talks and workshops as well as in-person or virtual educational presentations.

Some of my customizable presentation topics include:

  • What not to say to grieving people

  • What’s different about children’s grief

  • Forgiveness at the end of life

  • Grief support in spiritual communities

  • The death doula role

  • Creating lasting legacies

  • The language of grief

  • The importance of early Advance Care Planning (ACP)

Death Café Facilitation

A Death Café is a place for strangers to gather in a safe and nonjudgmental environment to discuss and ponder death. This a group discussion, not a grief support group, and it has no set agenda or objectives other than to simply increase awareness of death. The Death Café philosophy is that the better we understand death, the better we can live. Contact me if you would like me to facilitate a Death Café with your group or organization.

Grief Support Group Facilitation

Bereavement and grief support groups are a place where grieving people can connect with and support others who have also suffered the death of someone close to them. While grief support groups are not for everyone, they can be incredibly helpful for many people. I am a trained grief support group peer facilitator. Contact me if you would like me to facilitate a bereavement group for your community or organization.
