Healthy End of Life Project (HELP) Ottawa

Healthy End of Life Project (HELP) Ottawa     

HELP Ottawa is a local, community-based, participatory research initiative, which has been designed to develop a Canadian-focused Healthy End of Life Project (HELP) framework.

Modelled after the critical and comprehensive community development framework, Healthy End of Life Project (HELP), developed by Andrea Grindrod, PhD, BEdSt, RN, and Dr. Bruce Rumbold and the Public Health Palliative Care Unit at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia. [1]

Designed to create a collaborative end of life culture, this 3.5-year project aims to strengthen family, community and organizational capacity while enhancing and strengthening links among health services, community programs, neighbourhoods and the broader community.
