Having Compassionate Conversations: What does a Good Day Look Like?

Supporting people to ‘age in place’ offers countless opportunities for meaningful conversations about care planning, serious illness, grief, and loss. Still, fear and concern often hold us back—the worry that we won’t know what to say or that we’ll say the wrong thing can prevent us from stepping into these important moments of connection.

These conversations don’t have to feel overwhelming. By bringing compassion to the way we listen, speak, and share honestly, we can make these moments more manageable—for ourselves and for those we care for.

This webinar is a space to approach these essential conversations with courage and empathy. Anchored in the question, “What does a good day look like?”—a principle inspired by asset-based community development and the Good Life Conversation—we will explore how to gently start conversations about advance care planning, recognize and respond to grief, and foster environments that enable meaningful and transformative discussions.

Whether you’re a caregiver, provider, or program leader, this session will support you in building the courage and skill to connect meaningfully during life’s most complex moments.
