This panel brings together experienced speakers to explore end-of-life conversations, resources and practical planning. Geared toward parents and caregivers, the session aims to make difficult topics approachable and useful for family life. It touches on Dying to Know Day themes, community support, and preparing loved ones in a calm, respectful way.
Expect a conversational panel format with a mix of lived experience and professional advice, covering end-of-life conversations, planning and care. Speakers will aim to create a compassionate space where questions are welcomed and normalised.
The session will highlight practical steps parents can take to begin conversations with children and other family members, including age-appropriate language and planning tips. This is about opening dialogue and building confidence, not about detailed medical guidance.
Audience members will have the opportunity to listen, reflect and ask questions in a respectful setting. The tone is supportive and informed, with an emphasis on community resources and mental wellbeing for families.
This is a panel discussion format rather than a workshop, designed to be accessible for busy parents of school-aged children. Content will focus on actionable information and emotional support for families navigating end-of-life planning.
Specific session length, exact speaker list and any associated materials are not provided in the current notice; please check ACON channels for full details. The experience is intended to be suitable for parents seeking practical, reassuring guidance.
Participants should expect a thoughtful, moderated conversation with opportunities for Q&A if time allows. Content may include references to legal, emotional and community support topics relevant to end-of-life conversations.
