***Welcome to Taboo Education- Let’s Talk Death!***
Taboo Education is created by Sam (an Aussie psychotherapist) and Gary (your friendly neighbourhood ghost).
Taboo Education is a community education channel centred around the issues related to death and dying. We aim to create change in our healthcare system, legal system, and family dynamics by helping people start the death conversation with their families and themselves.
The channel covers death issues from all angles including historical, anthropological, biological, financial, environmental, and practical. We aim to provide both practical and thought-provoking videos in an often frank and humorous way in order to break the ice!
