Two powerful tools for making a patient’s medical and end-of-life care preferences known and respected are a Personal Directive - a legal document containing health directions for when one can no longer speak for oneself - and a Letter of Wishes for medical care. Having these in place can greatly reduce uncertainty and provide peace of mind for both you and your loved ones.

We provide guidance and support for you to create your own Personal Directives with comprehensive, legally binding health directives or a non-legally binding Letter of Wishes for medical care.

Our sessions provide personalized, comprehensive support for making clear, informed decisions about your wishes such as preferences for resuscitation and treatment, who will speak for you in a crisis, organ/body donation, etc. 

We also offer assistance in understanding and establishing end-of-life preferences like Expected Death in the Home (EDitH) & Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD), and a referral to a trusted professional to complete, if desired.
