Compassionate Communities Conversations

This discussion has 2 identitical sessions:

• Tuesday 20 May from 10am to 12pm
• Thursday 22 May from 6.30pm to 8.30pm

Please only book for one session.

Compassionate Communities are groups of people and places where everyone plays a supporting role for each other in times of crisis – including serious illness, end of life, death, grieving, and caregiving.

Compassionate Communities recognise that care for one another during times of crisis and loss is not a task solely for health and social services, but rather a community responsibility – everyone is ready, willing, and confident to support each other in emotional and practical ways.

This open discussion is for:

• People who show up to support their friends, family, and neighbours
• People who are community minded
• People who do not work in end of life and loss related fields
• Representatives of organisations that work with local communities (such as volunteers and retired seniors)

Join the conversations to discuss how we can build a compassionate community in Sutherland Shire.
