We all want to have a say in what happens in the last part of our lives. By making plans that cover our care, lifestyle, health and finances, we work out what we want, as well as making things easier on those around us. This process is called Advance Care Planning.
We have scheduled several free online workshops over the first half of 2022. Each will cover information on what is involved in Advance Care Planning, how to get started, and how to talk with your loved ones about your end-of-life wishes.
These workshops are suitable for any community members regardless of age, health or background. You don’t need any prior knowledge of Advance Care Planning to take part. And thanks to funding from the WA Department of Health, these workshops are free for anyone living in Western Australia.
Registration is on Eventbrite. After you register, we will send you a resource pack that you need to participate in the workshop. Early registration means it will be posted to you, otherwise the documents can be emailed to you or can be accessed online. Closer to the workshop date we will email you the Zoom link you need to access the workshop. We will also provide you with some general tips on Zoom and participating in online workshops. You can download a flyer on these workshops HERE with all dates and registration links.
