Compassionate Communities in Action: Global Stories of Care, Loss and Connection brings together practical examples of compassionate cities and communities from around the world. Together they provide a practical road map, highlighting what has worked and what has been challenging, alongside reflections from the communities profiled.

Over the past 20 years, hundreds of areas globally have worked to develop compassionate cities and communities, in order to improve death, dying, loss, and caregiving for their residents. This book, designed to support those beginning their journey and those who want to continue to develop existing initiatives, highlights:

  • Different models of organisation or structure for a Compassionate Community
  • How projects have engaged with wider civic society, including schools, workplaces, and the arts
  • Suggestions for reorientating health and care services towards community and well-being
  • The role of individual leaders in shaping grassroots activities

Demonstrating public health palliative care in practice, this guide is an essential read for people working in the field of palliative and end-of-life care, as well as academics, students, and policymakers with an interest in the area.
