In our debut episode of Students of Aging, we explore the Death Cafe movement with social worker, psychotherapist and author, Linda Hochstetler. Linda shares how Death Cafes create open, unscripted conversations about dying and death, helping people navigate difficult questions and break societal taboos. From its origins in England to its growth in Toronto, discover how these gatherings provide a safe space for reflection, learning, and connection. Students of Aging is funded by the Government of Canada's New Horizons for Seniors Program.
Presented by WoodGreen Community Services' Seniors Advisory Council.
