Illness, death, loss and grief are universal experiences. Thus the provision of palliative and supportive care that meet the needs of diverse and vulnerable populations requires a public health approach. This Special Issue introduces some new voices into the debates and charts changing international trends in the provision of care for dying people and their families.

Thoughtful papers from experts provide updates on latest clinical therapies and community practice. Research reports address many of the taboo topics so often ignored in palliative and supportive care clinical discourse around death and dying: intimacy sexuality, shame and guilt, grief and spirituality.

Of particular interest are papers which showcase innovative projects in health promoting palliative care. In these projects we find the wisdom of emerging leaders in community-based policy, information, education and early-intervention strategies to provide people facing death with choices, engagement and supportive care.
