Social media plays an important part of awareness raising during Demystifying Death Week.
Your support can make a big difference.
We have developed some Demystifying Death Week flyers for sharing on social media (see pictures to the right). These can be downloaded here:

Many organisations will have resources or activities worth highlighting, for example a website, leaflet or support group relevant to death, dying, loss or care. DD Week is a good opportunity to sharethese on social media using the #DemystifyDeath hashtag - we can all work together to share each other's work more widely.
You might want to tweet about an event you're involved in or a resource you think is particularly helpful. You could share a poem on the subject of death or dying, or a book with themes of loss or death. You could look for the #DemystifyDeath hashtag and retweet some of the work others are doing. You might want to share your own experiences or top tips.
