What we’re about
San Diego Death Talk is a group for anyone interested in discussing and learning more about end-of-life care, dying and death.
Death Talk serves as a space for people who are curious about end-of-life care rights, dying, and death. Talks will range from medical aid in dying to green burials to planning an advance health care directive. We want to educate and empower individuals to make informed end-of-life decisions.
All members of the community are encouraged to join.
This group is facilitated by volunteers of Compassion & Choices California. C&C encourages conversations about CA's End of Life Option Act (medical aid in dying), voluntary stopping of eating and drinking (VSED), hospice and palliative care, and accessibility to your full range of end-of-life care options.
