The NSHPCA 2025 Conference brings together professionals, researchers, and community leaders to explore the profound impact of culture on death, dying, and grief. This year’s theme, Cultural Implications of Death, Dying, and Grief, focuses on fostering understanding and dialogue about the diverse ways cultures navigate end-of-life experiences.

Held on May 8, 2025, at the Halifax Tower Hotel & Conference Centre, this hybrid conference will address topics such as cultural diversity in grief, cross-cultural dialogue in palliative care, and the intersection of culture, beliefs, and identity in mourning practices.

With a commitment to collaboration, education, and innovation, NSHPCA aims to inspire culturally sensitive care and groundbreaking research, creating thoughtful and meaningful change in how one might perceive death, dying and grief for all Nova Scotian’s and beyond.
