HELP Ottawa
Compassionate Ottawa is proud to bring the Healthy End of Life Project (HELP) to Canada from its origins in Australia. This three-year research project, with funding from the Mach-Gaensslen Foundation of Canada, and led by researchers from Carleton University, will work with two community health centres and two faith communities in Ottawa to develop the skills and confidence to offer, ask for and accept help near the end of life.
