Death Café provides students, faculty, staff and community members a judgement-free atmosphere to discuss death and a variety of topics related to this difficult subject. This unique discourse allows attendees to broaden their understanding of death and end-of-life issues, directly supporting a variety of programs and courses at KCKCC.
Death Café is an international movement that began, September 2011 in the United Kingdom and has spread to a worldwide audience, it is not a grief support group, but a group directed discussion about what many consider life’s last unknown, death. Students, employees, and community members are invited to attend to talk about death. Please stop by, drink some coffee or tea, eat some cake, and talk about death. Classes welcome.
For more information, please contact Library Specialist Dottie Hill at 913-288-7659 or go to deathcafe.com.
