What is Death Education?

Children can struggle to understand death and loss, especially with the advent of Coronavirus and Covid-19 affecting our communities. Death Education helps children acknowledge death as a natural part of life and address the misinformation, uncertainty and fear that surrounds death by opening dialogue about death and dying.

Dispelling the silence and creating an understanding of death and dying can help reduce the long term consequences of bereavement and address social isolation. Death Education also provides an opportunity for students to learn about resilience, coping skills, help-seeking strategies and community support resources.
