Title: Student Mural Encourages a Compassionate Brock (2018)
This article is helpful to review if you're looking for inspiration to start normalizing conversations regarding caregiving, dying, death and grieving (the death journey) within your Compassionate Community.Â
The Together We Rise (TWR) initiative was led by undergraduate public health students with the vision to destigmatize the death journey within Compassionate Brock (a Compassionate University) through art. An asset-based community development approach was applied when designing, creating, displaying and promoting a mural in collaboration with community partners and student volunteers. TWR socialized various community sectors on the topic, ultimately contributing to death literacy and building a supportive social environment.
This project was launched and shared with the Brock community with media support from The Brock News and other university media platforms.
