ADEC Response to Hurricane Katrina and Its Aftermath

The members of the Association for Death Education and Counseling extend our condolences and support to everyone affected by the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. We realize that there will be long-term needs for support because grief due to losses, not just death, takes more time and support than is commonly realized.

ADEC members are encouraged to contribute money and volunteer their efforts through already-established organizations. Listed below are helpful links:
