“Life Chat” Exhibition

Due to the legislation of advance medical directive, more and more life and death education and the promotion of advance care planning happen in the community. Community end-of-life care services is also developed. Nevertheless, researches indicate that the public still lacks awareness of ADM and end of life care services; Besides, in Chinese society, the public generally thinks that the above care planning is equivalent to end of life discussion, making them unwilling to discuss with other family members, or cannot find a suitable moment for discussion. In light of this, HKCSS will hold an exhibition event called "Life Chat" to encourage public discussions about the need of life management, and to change the perception of end-of-life care planning. The exhibition will engage six regional service organizations to showcase their services and establish a care network within the Tsuen Wan and Kwai Tsing communities. Additionally, various stakeholders are invited to host seminars that share information about resources about community care and life and death education, helping the public understand how to manage their own and their families' lives, thereby enhancing quality of life. The Details of The Event: Date: 7th-8th December 2024 (Saturday and Sunday) Time: 10:00am – 19:00pm Venue: D∙PARK ...
