Health: Advance Care Planning Month Starts an Important Conversation

It’s not the easiest topic, but it’s an important one.

April is Advance Care Planning Month, a time to encourage conversations about the kind of care people want later in life.

That includes thinking about medical decisions, communicating wishes with family, and making plans ahead of time.

Local advocates, including representatives from Dying With Dignity Canada, say these conversations don’t have to be overwhelming.

In fact, starting small and having open, honest discussions can make a difficult topic more manageable.

It’s about making sure your voice is heard, even in situations where you may not be able to speak for yourself.
