Our Big Idea is to offer hospice counselling to patients family and friends to help them live well towards the end of their life, make important choices, resolve conflicts and be at peace. Counselling is an integral part of palliative care and helping people prepare for a good death.

    Situation

    Receiving a life limiting diagnosis can be a frightening, stressful and challenging experience. It is also a time when people need to make important decisions and address unresolved issues. Death is often not spoken about in families, or society, and people’s instinct is often to protect those closest to them and not talk about their feelings and wishes. This can be damaging to overall well-being and mean people do not prepare for their death.

    Solution

    Our project will offer patients, and their loved ones, a safe, confidential and neutral space to talk about their feelings, concerns and fears. People can have up to 12, one-hour long sessions, either on their own or with other family members (or a mixture of both). Talking with trained, empathic counsellors can help people resolve their concerns & fears, reduce anxiety and strengthen emotional resilience. This can improve their quality of life and help them prepare for a more peaceful death.
