About this event

  • 2 hours 20 minutes

Discussing death with children and young adults can be challenging and many tend to avoid the discussion altogether. Death, just as birth, is a natural part of our lives. As parents and a community, it is our responsibility to ensure young people know it’s okay to discuss death and learn healthy ways to cope with grief.

Are these appropriate conversations for young people? Absolutely! In fact, their mental health might depend on it.

Home Hospice Association

Home Hospice Association (HHA) aims to help communities develop resources to care for their dying where ever they call home. Much of the agency’s work also focuses on helping all members of any community die a ‘good death,’ however that may be defined. We believe in normalizing death through education to professionals, children, families, and communities and strive to destigmatize dying and death.
