Education is Our Foundation.
Free educational workshops and webinars are led by our volunteer medical and legal team to address difficult conversations and health care inequities especially as it applies to serious illness and life & death wellness for all age groups.
Webinars
Workshops with community collaborators have addressed such topics as mental health in a COVID world, end-of-life options, advance care planning, end-of-life doula training, preparing advanced directives and wills, green burials, home funerals and much more.
We have gone virtual with many of our webinars and education in hopes of reaching more people. Here are upcoming events from Life & Death Wellness and other community providers.
