American Hospice

The American Hospice Foundation (AHF) was a nonprofit organization dedicated for more than 20 years to improving access to quality hospice care through public education, professional training, and consumer advocacy. Although the foundation closed in June 2014, its website preserves a free library of resources created to support people facing caregiving, hospice, and grief-related challenges. The materials reflect AHF’s vision of hospice as an integral part of society, culture, and belief systems.

The library covers caregiving and learning about hospice, as well as grief among children and in schools and workplaces. Its resources include training for employers on grief at work and guidance for school professionals supporting grieving students. Visitors can also explore information about the foundation and its history, including an AHF timeline and a video about grief in schools. The foundation invites people to use and share these materials. They are released under the Creative Commons Zero Waiver 1.0, with a request to cite American Hospice Foundation and link to its website when reproducing them.
