e-Learning: Introduction to Advance Care Planning (ACP)
Momiji / JSS Present
Wed. Sep 22, 2021 / 3:00 – 4:30 pm
*English with Japanese Interpretation
This month, our online session (Zoom) invites Dying with Dignity Canada (DWDC) again to learn about Advance Care Planning (ACP), co-provided by Momiji Health Care Society and Japanese Social Services (JSS). **No session is held on the 2nd Wed this month.
What is this session about?
It’s never too early to start thinking about your health care options, to articulate your wants and needs for a time when you are not able to speak for yourself. If something unexpected were to happen tomorrow, what care would you want to receive – or not receive? These decisions are challenging and this session will let you know how to start creating an Advance Care Plan.
This session empowers people and their caregivers by helping them plan for serious injury, illness and end-of-life. In the 30-minute presentation viewers will learn:
- the what, why and when of Advance Care Planning;
- how to select a substitute decision maker (SDM); and
- the process of creating an Advance Care Plan.
※This seminar is held in English with Japanese interpretation.
