Compassionate Cities

More about the book

Exploring the concept of community health, this book envisions a society where the well-being of members encompasses not only physical health but also emotional and social aspects related to death and loss. It emphasizes the need for inclusive frameworks that address end-of-life experiences, particularly for vulnerable populations such as those affected by dementia, sexual abuse, or displacement. By extending the World Health Organization's "Healthy Cities" initiative, it advocates for a compassionate approach that integrates empathy and support into health promotion strategies.
