Kubler-Ross Foundation Online education series

Our vision is of a world in which all patients who need palliative care, people in grief and those close to them have access to care and support, whenever and wherever they need it. We believe that education is the key to achieving this ambition.

Generally recognized as where the modern thanatology movement began 50 years ago, education has always been one of the most important aspects of Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s Legacy.

Dr. Elisabeth Kübler-Ross started an education movement for life, death and grief worldwide, actively participating in the training of hundreds of thousands of people on all continents. She believed in experiential training, in which people should deal with their unfinished business, personal grief and emotional pain, before learning the skills and competencies for this job.

More than anything, we believe that Elisabeth’s work focuses on a new awareness of what life means and what we can do to live more fully. Thus, our educational projects should serve this purpose. We want to transform the way we live on this planet and we believe that Elisabeth’s legacy still has a lot to say for contemporary society.

Person-Centered and Culturally Relevant Education and Training

We believe that the best palliative care and grief education and training is person-centered and culturally relevant, just like care should be. It needs to be designed and delivered in partnership and through relationships.

We seek to involve patients, family caregivers, communities as well as professionals and innovators, in identifying what information and skills are needed to provide the best possible experience at the end of life in whatever setting.

Collaborations

We have a longstanding collaboration with a lot of institutions, universities and palliative care and grief support centers all over the world, like North America, South America, Europe, South Africa and Asia.
