Advanced Directives & Care Planning

Join Ashley in this self-paced course as she discusses the important topics of advanced directives and care planning. Uncertainty around health care choices can be an overwhelming thought. No one wants to think about the "what if" however, this important aspect of care must be addressed to ensure your wishes are carried out. Our culture is afraid of the unknown and the potential of death. What we fail to realize is that the unexpected does happen. When it does, families are left scrambling to figure out what their loved ones would have wanted. Worse yet, all to often families with multiple children end up in bitter fights over the "right" choice or what "you would have wanted". Advanced directives don't have to be difficult or terrifying. The process of creating advanced directives can be cathartic and relieve stress you didn't even realize you had. Some families may experience a new closeness and greater understanding of their loved ones. In this class, you will learn about the importance of advanced directives, sometimes called living will, and power of attorney. You will also learn about care planning and having important discussions with your loved ones about your care if you were unable to speak for yourself. You will receive a FREE workbook to go along with the video instruction. After taking this class you will be able to complete your own advanced directives and care planning. You will have a sense of relief and security knowing that your family won't be faced with difficult decisions.
