💡 What can you expect from this session?
Death and dying are taboo topics for adults to discuss with children, often leading to dismissive responses that leave children with uncertainty. HCA Hospice’s Project Kindle addresses the distressing yet silent grief in children, supporting them through tailored interventions.
During the session, Project Kindle will launch a psycho-educational video, where children engage their parents in conversations on death and dying. By normalizing these conversations, the video reduces fear and stigma, empowering families to discuss sensitive topics.
🟢 Who should attend?
This session is open to all.
