They care for people, assist people to live in their homes, connect people to services, raise awareness about end of life issues and develop the capacity of others in the community.... Compassionate communities are a core part of public health approaches to palliative care, end of life care and bereavement. The term was coined by Allan Kellehear in the mid-2000s to describe communities which play a much stronger role in the care of people at end of life and their families and carers through illness, dying, death and bereavement. FYI - I have attached a rather interesting pdf and an example how Sunshine coast created a Compassionate community.

The afternoon ended with refreshments and networking opportunities. The management committee look forward to another busy and successful year - stay tuned!
