Free webinar: How to talk about death and dying

Date to be confirmed 2026!

Description:

Compassionate conversations about death and dying are important for people with a learning disability and autistic people, as they enable them to be involved in decisions about their care, comfort, beliefs, and how they want to be remembered, in ways that are meaningful to them.

People with a learning disability and autistic people may also experience and express loss differently. Therefore, it is important to help people understand what is happening, feel included, and prepare emotionally. Being excluded from these conversations can lead to misunderstandings, complicated grief, or feelings of loss that are harder to process later.

This webinar will explore why these conversations matter, how to use clear, accessible language, and how to respond to questions, emotions, and misunderstandings in a supportive manner.

This webinar will:

• Discuss why honest conversations about death and dying matter
• Help people feel more confident talking about death, dying, and loss
• Recognise grief and know how to offer support
• How to use compassionate, person-centred approaches in practice
