HELP resources
Resources to help you generate change – at the individual and community level.
Key strategies overview
Putting HELP into practice: key resources
Use our HELP resources to guide you in implementing the HELP framework in your local context.
Our evidence-based resources translate the HELP framework into practical steps for your sector, organisation and community. To generate change – both individually and collectively.
HELP resources shift the community culture away from one where members instinctively decline help from local networks. To a confident, capable one that asks for, provides – and accepts help.
Communities can facilitate individual and collective caring networks and start the discussion around building a collaborative culture for end-of-life care.
These conversations take place in everyday settings where people live, work and play. And provide opportunities for everyone to understand how they can contribute to healthy end-of-life experiences – in their own community.
Evidence based help framework
Key Strategies Overview
HELP is designed to modify two social norms, using two key strategies to mobilise a collaborative community culture.
Change two social norms
- Shift the culture from one where members instinctively decline help from personal and community networks to one that ‘asks for and accepts help’
- Reinforce and create a community culture that is confident and capable of offering and providing help.
Using two key strategies
- Generating community discussion on the role of community at end of life - through partnerships, community forums that promote public conversation and skill-sharing.
- Facilitating the development of social networks that can respond to individual and collective end-of-life care needs in the community.

With a HELP plan, your family, friends and neighbours will know how they can help. By giving people a clear idea of what you need, when you need it (and what you don’t need!), a HELP plan makes it easier for them to support you.

HELP supports the delivery of strengths-based, sustainable community development initiatives. It’s designed to create a collaborative community culture that attends to local end-of-life care needs.
The HELP framework guides organisations and communities to work across systems and sectors. And, together, bring about changes in policy, planning, practice and programs – while maximising participation throughout all groups.
