After a few very difficult years, the spread of the Covid epidemic and the uncertainty of its development has made many people realize that just because the Chinese culture has avoided talking about serious illness and death in the past, it does not mean that these things will never come.
Because of the lack of access to information and resources, many people are beginning to feel uneasy and anxious when the world is shrouded in the uncertainty of the epidemic. Let's take a proactive approach to recognizing the most important moments in our lives that we are bound to face one day, for ourselves or our families.
Perhaps five, ten, twenty or more years from now, at some unknown moment, these messages will serve as a source of help and comfort to us and our families as we face the challenges of serious illness and death.

Upcoming Webinar:
8/26/2026 (Wed) "In the Same Boat: Effective Communication for Patients, Families, and Healthcare Teams"
Speaker: Ms Pauline Nee
Good communication between healthcare teams and patients (and their families) is essential for trust and harmony in doctor-patient relationships. Discussions about serious diagnoses and treatment can be challenging due to differing expectations, leading to dissatisfaction. Language and cultural differences in non-mainstream Chinese healthcare settings can also create barriers. Join our online seminar on July 24th, to learn how to "communicate with Healthcare Teams".
