#Death Cafes are informal discussions about death with no agenda or objectives. Not grief support or counselling sessions ~ just conversations about whatever death-related things people want to discuss. Many meet in person around the globe and others are now meeting online ~ you can attend once or often, and all are free. Find listings of Death Cafes here: https://deathcafe.com/deathcafes/ #AdvanceCarePlanning #EndofLife #AdvanceDirectives #PalliativeCare #Hospice
Welcome! You are invited to join a webinar: Game On! Advance Care Planning Gamification. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email about joining the webinar.

Gamification adds game-design elements such as cards, tokens, points, or social interaction to a task to make it engaging and enjoyable and encourage participation. In healthcare, gamification can help us introduce emotionally sensitive topics like advance care planning, and motivate behavior changes like engaging in advance care planning discussions or completing advance directives. Join us to learn about advance care planning games that are generating discussions and outcomes in engaging the public, and how you might use gamification to foster conversations in your community. We will review and discuss games including Hello, Go Wish, and The Death Deck.
