Planning for End of Life Conversations - Free interactive event that is both informative and practical.
This is an event for all; from those who care about aging as well as those who care about the aged.
Unspoken: (What will become of me?) gently explores the themes of ageing, declining capacity, diminished autonomy and a sense of identity and uses humour to create a comfortable setting for everyone to engage.
Visitors can structure the event to suit their needs and interests.
