Let’s Talk: Episode 1, I Didn’t Know

According to the National Hospice and Palliative Care Organization, although African Americans make up 13% of the population, only 8% of people who receive hospice services are African American.

This means having limited access to:

• Expert pain control and symptom management
• Increased quality of life
• Emotional and spiritual support
• Holistic comfort measures
• Volunteer assistance
• Social work services
• Grief support

The African American Church Empowerment Project seeks to address this disparity. We offer free end-of-life care education for African American churches either in-person or via Zoom.

The 5–session training comes complete with a catered meal for in-person trainings. Meals for virtual trainings are available via gift cards.
