Sheena’s Workshop: Conversations that Count
Saturday 3:30pm at the apa Workshop Space
In this workshop, Sheena uses her experience to ask us to think about what matters most. What is palliative care and why is it important to talk about death and dying? Sheena shares tips for having a conversation that counts, and ways to care for yourself when exploring confronting concepts, as well as resources, tools and services available to you.
