✨ Just wrapped up an incredible experience presenting at the 2025 Association for Death Education and Counseling (ADEC) Conference! ✨
My session, “Maximizing Media: Effective Strategies for Delivering Thanatology Research to a General Audience,” focused on one of my biggest passions: making grief education more accessible, engaging, and inclusive.
I talked about the power of intentional framing, how to choose the right media modality (spoiler: it’s not always video!), and how thinking like an instructional designer can help us overcome barriers to learning—especially when the topic is as (potentially) intimidating and important as grief.
We explored:
🎯 How the words you use and the images you choose affects impact
🎯 How to frame grief theory for wider cultural relevance
🎯 Ways to apply instructional design principles to real-world outreach
🎯 Inclusive practices to invite more people—and different people—into the conversation
The response was energizing and I left feeling so inspired by this community’s commitment to creating a more grief-literate world.
Let’s keep making this work matter. 💙
