About Alberta Hospice Palliative Care Association:
AHPCA is partnering with Laura Walsh, a registered psychologist working in Calgary, to host our first Death Cafe.
AHPCA raises public awareness of hospice palliative care and all the associated issues, including death.
We promote and support comprehensive and quality hospice palliative care in Alberta, Canada.
What brings you to Death Cafe?
In the scope of educating the public, we want people to first be comfortable thinking and speaking about death.
Hosting a Death Cafe is a step towards demystifying death in Canadian culture, which ultimately will benefit the hospice palliative care system.
