This live virtual event will feature a conversation between Kerrie Noonan and Pam Grassau about compassionate communities in Australia, the successes and challenges of building a compassionate community, and a way to understand more about a community’s skills, experience, social actions, and knowledge surrounding death, dying, caregiving and loss. There will be time for questions and comments following the discussion.
