As an experienced high school and college educator, I’m delighted to speak about the benefits of reduced end-of-life fears and anxieties. My presentations at retirement communities, hospice organizations, assisted living facilities, colleges, universities, hospitals, and other groups help people learn more about the dying process. I also teach ways to prepare for death that create comfort and lessen anxiety. All over Chicago, my workshops normalize discussions around death and dying so we can stop being afraid.
Contact me to host workshops and presentations, speak on panels, or teach continuing education classes. I’m available for your community forum, religious or secular service, and organizational meeting. This can be in-person, remotely, or a hybrid of both.
