This conversation, sponsored by Compassionate Ottawa, between Dr. Kerrie Noonan from Australia and Dr. Pam Grassau, lead investigator of HELP Ottawa, touches on compassionate communities in Australia, the successes and challenges of building a compassionate community, and a way to understand more about a community’s skills, experience, social actions, and knowledge surrounding death, dying, caregiving and loss.
