Let’s Talk About Death and Dying – Mornington Peninsula

Let’s talk about death and dying.

Dying to Know Day is offering our community the chance to have a conversation about death and dying in a sensitive and safe environment. Dying to Know Day is a public health campaign that aims to reduce the stigma around death and inspire individuals to be better prepared to support others and to consider and to take action on end-of-life planning.

To coincide with National Dying to Know Day on 8 August, Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Dying to Know Network will be hosting an event. The network is a group of dedicated community representatives who have been working alongside our Positive Ageing Officer to plan an educational event for our community.

Dying to Know Day will feature information and resources, guest speakers, activities, and opportunities to ask questions.

Join us to:

• Learn about the care that can be provided to a person who is dying and their families and loved ones.
• Pick up resources about grief, advance care planning, funerals, wills and more.
• Understand why the effects of bereavement and loss can be so complicated and long lasting.
• Reflect on what truly matters to you at the end of your life.
