PAUSE

 

Regardless of our race, gender, religion, location, and privilege - dying is not an option. But how we access safe, culturally-sensitive support and care is.

PAUSE is a nonprofit dedicated to supporting people of color through grief and end of life with safe, culturally-sensitive, and expert-informed resources.  

We offer digital and in-person resources and programming serving individuals, companies, and deathcare professionals.

PAUSE Offerings
