Are you feeling disconnected in our modern world? You're not alone. In this eye-opening episode, we dive deep into the heart of social health with Joe Sehee, Executive Director of Social Health Australia. Joe shares his Joeurney from green burial advocate to champion of human connection, revealing how we can combat loneliness and transform end-of-life care.

Joe takes us on a fascinating exploration of 'community companioning', a revolutionary approach to supporting those facing life's toughest challenges. From terminal illness to bereavement, learn how this simple yet profound practice is changing lives and reshaping our understanding of grief and loss.

But that's not all - Joe's insights into co-housing, the funeral industry, and conservation burial grounds will challenge your perceptions of community living and death care. Discover why the way we approach death might be the key to living more connected, meaningful lives.

Key Takeaways:

● The power of 'community companioning' in supporting those facing illness, grief, and loneliness

● How co-housing models can combat social isolation and foster genuine community

● The untold history of the American funeral industry and its impact on our relationship with death

● The potential of conservation burial grounds to revolutionise both ecology and end-of-life care

● Why being present is more important than finding the 'right words' when supporting someone through grief

● The surprising health benefits of social connection and its potential to reduce hospital readmissions

Remember; You may not be ready to die, but at least you can be prepared.

Take care,

Catherine
