EDUCATION FOR GRIEF AND HEALING
Please save September 21, 2026, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. for a free reception and talk by Dr. Lani Leary at the Juneau Arts and Humanities Center (JAHC). Dr. Leary has more than 25 years of experience working with
chronically ill, dying, and bereaved clients. She served as the director of mental health services at Whitman Walker AIDS clinic, as a professor of Death Studies at George Mason University, and as a researcher at the National Cancer Institute of NIH. She also garners wisdom from her personal experience—her mother's death when she was a child, her father's death from cancer, her own profound near-death experience—and has sat with over 500 people as they died. She is the author of the book, No One Has To Die Alone.
