Compassionate Community Toolkits

Launching a Compassionate Community

Pallium offers easy-to-use toolkits designed to help community members create more compassionate and supportive communities for patients, caregivers and their families experiencing serious illness, dying and grieving.

Startup Toolkit

The Compassionate Community Startup Toolkit equips you with essential information and resources to empower people in your community to provide important physical, emotional, social, spiritual and practical support.

Sustainability Guide

The Compassionate Communities Sustainability Guide builds on the Compassionate Communities Startup Toolkit by supporting initiatives through their next phase of development — scale and spread.

Evaluation Guide

The Compassionate Communities Evaluation Guide supports Compassionate Community champions across Canada in measuring the impact of their work, sharing learnings and results and engage in discussions to assess the potential scale and spread of their initiatives.

Faith Community Toolkit

The Faith Community Toolkit will increase knowledge and understanding of medical and spiritual aspects surrounding serious illness, caregiving, death and grieving, while building capacity within Catholic parishes to support compassionate care within and beyond the parish community.

The Compassionate Community Startup Toolkit effectively launched our organization’s efforts to build a Compassionate Community by providing a helpful framework within which we could begin a conversation with community stakeholders. The Toolkit was user-friendly, informative, and well designed. In giving the presentation, I found the Toolkit to be appropriately adaptable and helpful in facilitating dialogue around local issues. I highly recommend the Toolkit as a starting point for anyone interested in bringing the Compassionate Community model to their community.
