when someone is approaching the end of life?
- What medicines and
treatments can help when someone is dying?
- How can I plan ahead for ill
health and dying?

affect someone who is dying?
- What support can a friend or
family member offer to someone who is caring, dying or grieving?
- How do I offer help without
interfering?
- How can you look after
yourself when you're looking after someone else?
The course teaches the basics of end-of-life care and address some of
the fears and uncertainties people often have.
After completing EASE participants will...
- be better equipped to
provide informal support to friends, family and community members dealing
with death, dying and bereavement
- find it easier to deal with
these issues when they have to face them themselves.
- know where to find further
information and support in relation to these issues.
The course does not provide
counselling, and cannot address specific situations or problems raised by
individuals.
