Webinar: In conversation with Dr Kathryn Mannix: Ordinary dying, tender conversations and the future of end of life care (8 Jun)

[ From Preparing the Way]

Most of us carry a picture of dying shaped by hospital dramas, hushed family stories, and a culture that tends to look away. That picture is usually wrong and the gap between what we imagine and what dying typically is can cause enormous, unnecessary fear.

This June, we're sitting down with Dr Kathryn Mannix for a live, honest, and genuinely useful conversation about what dying actually looks like and what it means to accompany someone through it.

What we'll explore together

• What ordinary dying actually looks like, and why so many of us misunderstand it
• Why we avoid conversations about death, and what it takes to begin them
• What end of life doulas offer alongside families and conventional care
• What compassionate, collaborative end of life care could look like in the years ahead

Who is this for?

This event is open to anyone who wants to understand dying better — end of life doulas, palliative and aged care professionals, nurses, social workers, chaplains, grief practitioners, and members of the public. You don't need medical knowledge or doula training, just an open mind. Even simple curiosity is enough.

When you register, you'll be invited to submit a question for Dr Kathryn Mannix. A selection of audience questions will be asked live during the conversation.

Date: Monday 8 June
