Making Impossible Conversations Possible
Adults would do anything to protect children, but when someone they love becomes seriously ill or dies, how can we explain what is happening?
Alan Stein (Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry) joins Greg Wise (actor and activist) and Dr Kathryn Mannix, (Consultant in Palliative Medicine and author of bestseller With the End in Mind) to discuss children’s understanding of illness and death, why communication matters and how as a society we can talk effectively about illness and death to protect our mental health.
