Abstract:
Compassionate Cities: Strengthening Social Resources in Communities for Mutual Support at the End of Life Abstract. People at the end of life often wish to remain at home for as long as possible. To make this possible to a greater extent, not only health professionals who accompany those affected and their relatives are needed, but also educational programmes to strengthen health literacy at the end of life. Within the framework of the project "Compassionate City Lab of the Bernese People", experiences in dealing with the end of life were collected and published, and a course on advance care planning for elderly people was developed. The project is funded by Health Promotion Switzerland and supported by a partnership between Bernese institutions of higher education, specialised palliative care and primary care, the community, and volunteers in the city of Bern and the Bernese Oberland.
