Thankful for California #Hospice and #PalliativeCare Association for making "What Matters to Me Workbook" freely available to download. The workbook guides personal reflection about values and preferences, so as to be able to better communicate with others at times of serious illness. https://www.calhospice.org/assets/What%20Matters%20To%20Me%20Workbook.pdf #EndofLife #AdvanceCarePlanning #AdvanceDirectives

#Death Cafes are informal discussions about death with no agenda or objectives. Not grief support or counselling sessions ~ just conversations about whatever death-related things people want to discuss. Many meet in person around the globe and others are now meeting online ~ you can attend once or often, and all are free. Find listings of Death Cafes here: https://deathcafe.com/deathcafes/ #AdvanceCarePlanning #EndofLife #AdvanceDirectives #PalliativeCare #Hospice

I worked at Advanced Care Planning Australia in 2017-2018, and I had a small hand in the project management of these animated videos.

After the Communications Manager left, I stepped up to see them through to completion. Produced by Creativa, it won Gold recognition in the 2018 Muse Creative Awards.

Working at ACPA planted the seed for becoming an end of life doula.

Have you considered what kind of medical care you want if you can't speak for yourself?

It's National Advance Care Planning Week, and 'the time is now' to think about–and talk about–your values and preferences regarding future health care and end-of-life.

Advance care planning is key to ensuring your wishes are respected. Start the conversation.
