You never know when a sudden illness may arise or a serious accident happen. Learn how to plan for your future needs so your wishes will be respected and carried out if you can't speak for yourself.

Have you thought about what will be most important to you if you were seriously ill or injured, or if you were near the end of life?  Who will speak for you if you are unable, and have you communicated your beliefs, values and wishes clearly to them?   

Advance Care Planning helps you arrange for your future care needs so your values, beliefs and wishes will be respected and carried out.  Learn how choosing a Substitute Decision Maker and communicating clearly your future care needs to them now can allow you to maintain responsibility for your own autonomy, and to avoid family disputes or agonizing dilemmas.

This interactive online program from Compassionate Communities Kingston will be held on Zoom. Registrants will be emailed the link when they register. Participants will need to download the latest version of Zoom in advance to the device they’ll be using during the presentation.

This Introduction meeting is the first of two presentations on this topic.  Once you have chosen your Substitute Decision Maker(s) and have begun setting up your Advance Care Plan, please consider registering for the followup presentation Advance Care Planning: Review for Past Attendees in March or April, where you can discuss questions arising from your implementation.  Each phase will be offered three times:

Advance Care Planning: An Introduction sessions

Advance Care Planning: A Review for Past Attendees sessions [registration opens Saturday February 20]

All three Introduction sessions are identical, as are all three Review sessions.  Spaces are limited, so please register for only a single Introduction and a single Review session.

If you don't yet have a KFPL membership or if you need to renew one, please apply for one by following the steps on our Getting a Library Card page.
