LightsOut provides a Grief Education Program designed to empower people by increasing their knowledge and awareness about dying, death, and grief. Increased death literacy reduces the negative flow-on effects of grief, and further develops the skills needed for supporting others who are grieving.
The platform's main focus is to increase awareness and understanding of death and grief bereavement and equip people with tools to not only support themselves through grief, but to show up effectively for others.
LightsOut is an online death and grief personal development program, consisting of 10 interactive self-led modules. The program delivers a suite of key evidence-based tools on one platform for easy accessibility. It comes from a place of lived experience as a young person, which creates relatability for a young person therefore creating a valuable resource that is appealing and engaging.
