What is a Death Cafe?
A Death Cafe is a confidential and safe space where people, often strangers, gather to drink tea/ coffee, have a sweet treat and discuss death, dying and bereavement.

It involves a group directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes, as opposed to a grief support or counselling session.

The objective is to increase awareness around death, help encourage people to make the most of their (finite) lives and support individuals who are going through loss or have lost someone.

Why is it important?
Death, dying and bereavement are a part of life, but this is often a taboo subject and can be difficult to talk about.
Death Cafes offer connection, friendship, friendship, kinship.

They are a great way to connect with new people who can understand what you’re thinking, feeling and going through. This allows you to validate your own experiences and remind you that you aren’t alone!

Talking about your needs and wants for palliative and end of life care can provide individuals with a greater sense of control and therefore improve their quality of life.

This event will be externally facilitated by the All Ireland Institute of Palliative Care. 

Note: This event is strictly for LGBTQIA+ attendees to ensure that it remains a safe space for service users.
