Advanced Care Planning: Not For the Faint of Heart

Incorporating a spiritual perspective, the presentation will focus on advanced care planning in the context of a church ministry by emphasizing the role that faith communities can play in having meaningful conversations about end of life choices and navigating the spiritual dimensions of healthcare decisions. This session provides guidance on integrating advanced care planning discussions into pastoral care, and promoting compassionate communication within congregations. We will explore the intersection of spirituality and medical decision-making and will aim to equip church leaders and members with tools to initiate thoughtful conversations, fostering a supportive environment where individuals can align their values with their healthcare preferences.
