Supporting the End-of-Life Journey: Serious and Advance Illness Planning with a Doula
As an aging population faces their end-of-life journey, more Canadians are seeking education, resources, and support to improve this inevitable experience for themselves, their extended families, and their community. End-of-Life doulas are companions who provides non-medical practical and emotional support before, during and after death. This workshop aims to shed light on creating quality end-of-life experiences for seniors by participating in proactive planning for the uncertainty of future medical needs. This session will include time for self-reflection, open discussion and sharing of knowledge.
Presenter: Jennifer Malmes is the co-founder of the End-of-Life Doula Association of Canada, and the creator of and an instructor of the End-of-Life Doula program and Indigenous End of Lifer Guide program at Douglas College.
